In searching I find there several different ways to connect to an Oracle server on MS Windows:
mxODBC - http://www.egenix.com/files/python/mxODBC.html built on top of the ODBC drivers for a given database DCOracle2 - http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2/ last update is 1.3 beta released 2 years ago? cx_oracle - http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml oc8py - http://sourceforge.net/projects/oci8py Looks dead Based on my own observations, people generally use the first two packages. Left to me I would use DCOracle2 because I've used it under unix - I have rather little MS Windows experience. There hasn't been much discussion about either option on c.l.py so I'ld be grateful for feedback. Andrew [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
