# DatabaseChangeNotification.py
#   This script demonstrates using database change notification in Python, a
# feature that is available in Oracle 10g Release 2. Once this script is
# running, use another session to insert, update or delete rows from the table
# cx_Oracle.TestTempTable and you will see the notification of that change.
#
# This script requires cx_Oracle 5.3 and higher.
