Sqlite starting shipping with Python 2.5. I use SqlAlchemy to connect to Microsoft SQL 2000 right now, but I used to use the mssql and adodb modules. The latter two worked for what I needed, although I was always running to escaping issues with them. SqlAlchemy is nice because it does all that for you and you can switch database back-ends with little to no change in your code. - Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
