        Execute a statement against the database.

        Parameters may be passed as a dictionary or sequence or as keyword
        parameters. If the parameters are a dictionary, the values will be
        bound by name and if the parameters are a sequence the values will be
        bound by position. Note that if the values are bound by position, the
        order of the variables is from left to right as they are encountered in
        the statement and SQL statements are processed differently than PL/SQL
        statements. For this reason, it is generally recommended to bind
        parameters by name instead of by position.

        Parameters passed as a dictionary are name and value pairs. The name
        maps to the bind variable name used by the statement and the value maps
        to the Python value you wish bound to that bind variable.

        A reference to the statement will be retained by the cursor. If None or
        the same string object is passed in again, the cursor will execute that
        statement again without performing a prepare or rebinding and
        redefining. This is most effective for algorithms where the same
        statement is used, but different parameters are bound to it (many
        times). Note that parameters that are not passed in during subsequent
        executions will retain the value passed in during the last execution
        that contained them.

        For maximum efficiency when reusing an statement, it is best to use the
        setinputsizes() method to specify the parameter types and sizes ahead
        of time; in particular, None is assumed to be a string of length 1 so
        any values that are later bound as numbers or dates will raise a
        TypeError exception.

        If the statement is a query, the cursor is returned as a convenience to
        the caller (so it can be used directly as an iterator over the rows in
        the cursor); otherwise, None is returned.

        manages it. If the size of the buffers allocated for any of the

        will receive the error “DPI-1015: array size of <n> is too large”,

        buffer. If you receive this error, decrease the number of elements in

        the number of iterations can be specified as an integer instead of
        needing to provide a list of empty mappings or sequences.

        When true, the batcherrors parameter enables batch error support within
        Oracle and ensures that the call succeeds even if an exception takes
        place in one or more of the sequence of parameters. The errors can then
        be retrieved using getbatcherrors().

        cannot be determined automatically from the Python object passed in or
        for use in input and output type handlers defined on cursors or
        connections.

        The typ parameter specifies the type of data that should be stored
        in the variable. This should be one of the database type constants, DB
        API constants, an object type returned from the method
        Connection.gettype() or one of the following Python types:

            Python Type         Database Type

            str                 DB_TYPE_VARCHAR

        The size parameter specifies the length of string and raw variables and
        is ignored in all other cases. If not specified for string and raw
        variables, the value 4000 is used.

        The arraysize parameter specifies the number of elements the variable
        will have. If not specified the bind array size (usually 1) is used.
        When a variable is created in an output type handler this parameter
        should be set to the cursor’s array size.

        The inconverter and outconverter parameters specify methods used for
        converting values to/from the database. More information can be found
        in the section on variable objects.

        The typename parameter specifies the name of a SQL object type and must
        be specified when using type DB_TYPE_OBJECT unless the type object
        was passed directly as the first parameter.

        The encoding_errors parameter specifies what should happen when
        decoding byte strings fetched from the database into strings. It should
        be one of the values noted in the builtin decode function.

        The bypass_decode parameter, if specified, should be passed as a
        boolean value. Passing a True value causes values of database types
        DB_TYPE_VARCHAR, DB_TYPE_CHAR, DB_TYPE_NVARCHAR, DB_TYPE_NCHAR and
        DB_TYPE_LONG to be returned as bytes instead of str, meaning that
