About rust-oracledb
The rust-oracledb driver is an open-source Rust module that enables Rust applications to connect to Oracle Database directly with no additional libraries required. This lightweight and high-performance driver gives Rust applications easy access to Oracle Database through the Oracle Net protocol. The module is maintained by Oracle.
This is a pre-release of rust-oracledb, intended to provide early access to the driver and gather user feedback. The APIs and functionalities are subject to change as development continues.
Rust-oracledb supports basic and advanced features of Oracle AI Database.
