EuroPython 2011 - Introduction to Python Database Programming
The talk gives an introduction to the concepts used in the Python Database API and relational databases in general.
Connection, cursors and transactions are explained, and their use in a typical Python database application is demonstrated. The talk also touches upon advanced database programming techniques and discusses best practices.
If you're looking for a DB-API compatible Python interface, please have a look at our database products mxODBC and mxODBC Connect.
They implement a Python DB-API 2.0 compatible interface, including a
number of important extensions such as ODBC catalog methods for easy
introspection of the database schema.
