+Django supports `Oracle Database Server`_ versions 11.1 and higher. Version
+4.3.1 or higher of the `cx_Oracle`_ Python driver is required, although we
+recommend version 5.1.3 or later as these versions support Python 3.
Note that due to a Unicode-corruption bug in ``cx_Oracle`` 5.0, that
version of the driver should **not** be used with Django;

+The end of upstream support periods was reached in July 2010 for Oracle 9.2,
+January 2012 for Oracle 10.1, and July 2013 for Oracle 10.2. As a consequence,
