Description
Oracle 12c with pluggable databases uses service name instead of service id (sid) to connect to database if PORT is provided.
Without port connection uses tnsnames.ora definitions or full DSN string in name
Django code uses only sid when port is defined (3rd parameter of makedsn(...) call)
makedsn(...) call has additional parameter service_name (4th parameter)
It's a bit inconvenient to build full DSN string for connection.
Sample full DSN string:
(DESCRIPTION=(ADDRESS=(PROTOCOL=TCP)(HOST=localhost)(PORT=1521))(CONNECT_DATA=(SERVICE_NAME=foobar)))

Apparently there is possibility to use Oracle eazy connect strings as well.
Maybe this could be documented in database spesific documentation?
