There is a python database special interest group that have produced a python DB-API specification. From http://starship.python.net/crew/amk/writing/DB-API.html __________ ...the Database SIG produced a specification for a consistent interface to relational databases -- the DB-API. Thanks to this specification, there's only one interface to learn. Porting code to use a different database product is much simpler, often requiring the change of only a few lines. __________ The DB-SIG homepage can be found at http://www.python.org/sigs/db-sig/ --gary =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Gary Van Domselaar gvd at redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca Faculty of Pharmacy Phone: (780) 492-4493 University of Alberta FAX: (780) 492-5305 Edmonton, Alberta, Canada http://redpoll.pharmacy.ualberta.ca/~gvd
