The mxODBC package contains a lot of grunt work making access to metadata work smoothly for many targets. I never found the license too expensive for the work (and thought) that it saved me. If you are targeting a single DBMS, or already have a strong understanding of your DB's schema, some other solution may do you as well. I'd be careful you don't spend far more effort getting corner cases to work right with a cobbled-together system than you'll save by using mxODBC. I am not connected to mxODBC other than as a very satisfied customer. --Scott David Daniels [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
