Once you become aware you need a decent tool to get into the database and "do your stuff" but also retain the ability to easily spawn out and do some "other stuff" elsewhere, and you come to a point of starting to ponder about Perl, may be it is not a bad idea to consider Python. Try 'em both and see which approach you prefer (or can live with).

Some years ago coming to realization it is high time to get a grip on powerful general purpose scripting language I too considered learning Perl, but got disgusted/repelled by it in almost no time.

Then I've stumbled across Python...

Python's "home":

Some high level descriptions:

"Why Python?" by Eric Raymond:

Python module for Oracle (requires Oracle Client): http://starship.python.net/crew/atuining/cx_Oracle/index.html
