mxODBC™ provides an easy-to-use, high-performance, reliable and robust Python interface to ODBC compatible databases such as MS SQL Server, Oracle Database, IBM DB2 and Informix , Sybase ASE and Sybase Anywhere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP MaxDB and many more.
The eGenix mxODBC - Python ODBC Database Interface product is a commercial extension to our eGenix mx Base Distribution.
mxODBC 3.0.3 is a patch-level release and includes the following updates:
mxODBC 3.0 is available for Python 2.3, 2.4, 2.5 and 2.6. We ship binaries for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, AIX, Solaris, and offer custom porting services for most other platforms.
mxODBC cursor objects can now be used as iterators to iterate over
result sets. While this was already possible in previous versions using
wrappers, we have now added direct iterator support to the cursor
objects themselves.
eGenix always aims to make using mxODBC as easy and robust as possible. For this reason, we regularly add or update work-arounds for problems found in recent ODBC driver versions.
This release includes new work-arounds for the MySQL ODBC driver
running on 64-bit Linux, the SQL Server 200 ODBC driver and the
FileMaker ODBC driver.
You are encouraged to upgrade to this latest mxODBC release, especially if you are using MS SQL Server or Informix as database server.
Customers who have purchased mxODBC 3.0 licenses can download and install this patch-level release on top of their existing installations. The licenses will continue to work with version 3.0.3.
Users of mxODBC 1.0 or 2.0 will have to purchase new licenses from our online shop in order to upgrade to mxODBC 3.0.3.
