+# Autonomous Transaction Processing, Autonomous Data Warehouse, and
+# others.

+# Before running this script:
+#  - Install Oracle Instant Client
+#  - Download and install the cloud service wallet
+#  - Modify the connect() call below to use the credentials for your database.
+# See your cloud service's documentation for details.
