Description (last modified by Vackar Afzal)

Oracle has 2 means of creating tablespaces:

  • Oracle managed files (OMF)
  • User managed files (UMF)

Currently Django only supports UMF, and not OMF.
To add support for OMF just need to omit the 'name' of the datafile - very simple changed.

Could add a flag to the 'OPTIONS' key in the database settings to specify which should be used:

    "default": {
      "ENGINE": "django.db.backends.oracle",
      "OPTIONS": {
        "threaded": True,
        "oracle_managed_files": True # <--------------- This is the new addition: default=False
      },
      "NAME": "my_sid",
      "USER": "my_user",
      "PASSWORD": "my_pass",
      "HOST": "localhost",
      "PORT": "1521"
    },

This is required if you are working with an Oracle instance that only supports OMF i.e.​AmazonRDS
