Dabo would benefit immensely with a pyodbc wrapper. I think though we should define specific wrappers like: mssql_odbc vfp_odbc dbase_odbc and perhaps also add a plain-vanilla odbc wrapper which needs to be subclassed by the appdev for a given proprietary API. The issue of getting this to work in the CxnEditor is completely separate, but also important. But the first step is to get a pyodbc wrapper working for dabo which can be configured in code. If someone has this already, and including it in dabo won't collide with anything else in the codebase, then I say let's get it committed! I also think that the XML spec for .cnxml could be relaxed to allow for non-generic (backend-specific) keys/values to be added to it. The CxnEditor could, at a minimum, discover these extra keys in the cnxml and allow editing of them. Moving forward from there, it could ask each backend for the list of supported keys and default values specific to that backend. I don't have the time to implement it, but can we get behind the above vision?
