El Carro for Oracle Databases for LangChain

• Client Library Documentation
• Product Documentation

Known Limitations

• The library supports El Carro Operator for Oracle 18c and higher versions.
• By default the library uses thin mode. for Oracle connectivity, to use thick mode please follow the corresponding section..
• To use VARCHAR2 datatype of size more than 4000 please change the parameter MAX_STRING_SIZE. in the Oracle instance.

Quick Start

Create an El Carro Operator Oracle Instance and a Database (PDB)

In order to use this library, you first need to have an El Carro Operator software running with an Instance (CDB) and a Database (PDB).

Please follow the steps for El Carro Oracle Operator to provision a new database and create a PDB:

• El Carro Oracle 18c XE quickstart
• El Carro Oracle 19c EE quickstart

Installation

Install this library in a virtualenv using pip. virtualenv is a tool to create isolated Python environments. The basic problem it addresses is one of dependencies and versions, and indirectly permissions.

With virtualenv, it’s possible to install this library without needing system install permissions, and without clashing with the installed system dependencies.

Supported Python Versions

Python >= 3.8

Mac/Linux

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
source <your-env>/bin/activate
<your-env>/bin/pip install langchain-google-el-carro

Windows

pip install virtualenv
virtualenv <your-env>
<your-env>\Scripts\activate
<your-env>\Scripts\pip.exe install langchain-google-el-carro

Document Loader Usage

Use a document loader to load data as LangChain Documents.

from langchain_google_el_carro import ElCarroEngine
from langchain_google_el_carro.loader import \
    ElCarroLoader, ElCarroDocumentSaver

elcarro_engine = ElCarroEngine.from_instance(
    "Your El Carro endpoint hostname", # e.g. 127.0.0.1
    "Your El Carro endpoint port", # e.g. 3307
    "Your PDB name",  # e.g. PDB1
    "Your DB user",
    "Your DB password",
)
loader = ElCarroLoader(
    elcarro_engine,
    table_name="my-table-name"
)
docs = loader.lazy_load()

See the full Document Loader tutorial.

Chat Message History Usage

Use ChatMessageHistory to store messages and provide conversation history to LLMs.

from langchain_google_el_carro import ElCarroEngine
from langchain_google_el_carro.chat_message_history import \
    ElCarroChatMessageHistory

elcarro_engine = ElCarroEngine.from_instance(
    "Your El Carro endpoint hostname", # e.g. 127.0.0.1
    "Your El Carro endpoint port", # e.g. 3307
    "Your PDB name",  # e.g. PDB1
    "Your DB user",
    "Your DB password",
)
history = ElCarroChatMessageHistory(
    elcarro_engine=elcarro_engine,
    table_name="my-message-store",
    session_id="my-session_id"
)

See the full Chat Message History tutorial.

Oracle Thick Mode Connectivity

Thick mode connectivity requires you to install the Oracle Client libraries and pass thick_mode=True to ElCarroEngine. Follow these sections of the oracledb installation guide:

• Oracle Instant Client Zip Files
• Oracle Instant Client RPMs

Example for Linux x64, glibc 2.14+:

wget https://download.oracle.com/otn_software/linux/instantclient/2113000/instantclient-basic-linux.x64-21.13.0.0.0dbru.zip -O /tmp/drv.zip
rm -fr /tmp/instantclient_21_13/; unzip /tmp/drv.zip -d /tmp
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/tmp/instantclient_21_13/:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
