Back in November, niphlod (?sp) said that he'd look into adding pytds support to DAL. I didn't have a chance to look a lot at pytds until recently, I don't see that it's supported yet. I believe the only thing missing from pytds to be able to add support is the DSN connection syntax. If anyone is interested, I could do a pull request and see if we can get that incorporated into pytds. I just reported a few issues with it and those were fixed (related to transactions on sql 2000), so I think it's mature enough to add. If anyone wants to add it to the DAL, I can offer my support as far as testing and workarounds for some issues it may have (its DBAPI 2.0 support is a little wonky).
Why PyTDS? You get MS SQL Server support with 0 binaries required on the host, it's 100% pure python (well, you'd benefit from bitarray, but it's not required). It doesn't use ODBC or anything, just straight TCP. That also means that you could run this with greenlets without reverting to seralized operations. The current pyodbc and pypyodbc still use the platform's odbc drivers which are written in C. -- Resources: - http://web2py.com - http://web2py.com/book (Documentation) - http://github.com/web2py/web2py (Source code) - https://code.google.com/p/web2py/issues/list (Report Issues) --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "web2py-users" group.
