Python Database Modules

The database modules listed on this page have been written to conform to the DB-SIG's proposed API.

Gadfly	Gadfly is a simple relational database system implemented in Python based on the SQL Structured Query Language, and includes a DB-API compliant interface. Maintained by Aaron Watters.
Informix	Currently maintained by Stephen J. Turner.
Informix (Kinfxdb)	A completely new informix module, called Kinfxdb. Maintained by Alexander Kuznetsov.
Interbase (Kinterbasdb)	An interface for Interbase 4.0 and 5.0. Maintained by Alexander Kuznetsov.
MySQL	A MySQL module that is thread-safe and aims for compatibility with the 2.0 DB-API. It requires a newer version of MySQL, version 3.22.19 or higher.
mxODBC	The mxODBC package provides a nearly 100% Python DB API compliant interface to databases that are accessible via the ODBC API. Many databases include ODBC libraries, so this may be the only module you need. Maintained by M.-A. Lemburg.
ODBC interface	This module is currently available in the PythonWin distribution. It's public domain code, but unfortunately has no designated support person(s). The best option for support is to ask questions on comp.lang.python newsgroups, where other PythonWin users can answer them.
DCOracle	An open source interface to Oracle from Digital Creations.
Solid	maintained by Michael Lausch. (This points to the ftp directory. The latest version when the link was installed was SolidPython-0.0.7.tar.gz.)
Sybase	Maintained by Peter Godman.
