Thanks Neil for your input . I am looking for opportunities to connect to the Tandem DB ( enscribe) via using Payton programs to analyse the data /patterns of the txns. I am very new in Python world so don,t know how these can be achieved ! In our setup , Tandem DB is not connected via any other 3rd party system therefore don’t know if JDBC/ODBC works here or not.
But will go through the link you have given and see if there are any!!
