EGENIX MX COMMERCIAL PACKAGE OVERVIEW
mxODBC - High-Performance ODBC 3.5 Interface for Python
mxODBC is an extension package that provides a Python Database
API compliant interface to ODBC capable database drivers and
managers. In addition to the capabilities provided through the standard DB
API it also gives access to a rich set of catalog methods which
allow you to scan the database for tables, procedures,
etc. Furthermore, it uses the mxDateTime package for date/time
value interfacing eliminating most of the problems these types
normally introduce (other in/output formats are available too). mxODBC allows you to interface to more than one database from one
process, making inter-database interfacing very flexible and
reliable. The source version includes a variety of pre-configured setups for
many commonly used databases such as MySQL, Oracle, Informix,
Solid, SAP DB, Sybase ASA and ASE, DBMaker and many more. The
pre-compiled versions for Windows and Linux include the interfaces
to the standard ODBC manager on these platforms to allow for a
more easily configurable setup.More details are available at:
