Hi Andreas, Thanks for the reply!
I see where you head it and I agree with you. However, I am not aware of the following: There are modules out there that enables you to get good performance for a particular database (let's sey Sql Server and adodbapi module) yet remain DB API compliant. In PyQt I will have to use its ODBC driver for doing this so I am wondering if I have a performance loss there... Thanks for the help!

Well, that depends on two things: a) is there something that Qt/PyQt delivers out-of-the-box, which you'd need to write yourself with the builtin DB-API? (for example it has support for the model/view stuff, it ships with a couple of databases supported, while python only supports sqlite out of the box) b) which API is nicer for you to work with? (unasked answer from me: Qt/PyQt is a _lot_ nicer for me personally, DB-API feels like the C-API that the databases offer) Andreas -- Don't you wish you had more energy... or less ambition? _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt _______________________________________________ PyQt mailing list PyQt@riverbankcomputing.com http://www.riverbankcomputing.com/mailman/listinfo/pyqt
