Hi,

Is there a way to do type hints for a generic DBAPI-compatible connection and 
cursor?  Our ETL Helper tool uses cx_Oracle, psycopg2 and sqlite3 connections 
interchangeably and it would be useful to have a generic type instead 
explicitly using the classes from each driver.

As far as I can see from Google, one way to achieve this would by using 
Protocols, as defined in PEP 544 (https://peps.python.org/pep-0544/).  Is there 
an "official" PEP 249 DBA API 2.0 protocol anywhere?

Thanks,
John

p.s. ETL Helper is a library we developed to make it easier for our DBAs to use 
Python to transfer data. https://pypi.org/project/etlhelper/
