Hi, the issue of database access from python is addressed here : http://www.python.org/topics/database/ <http://www.python.org/topics/database/> with specific modules (incliuding Oracle) listed here : http://www.python.org/topics/database/modules.html <http://www.python.org/topics/database/modules.html> I've only used ODBC from python unfortunately so I'm not well placed to offer a recommendation. Regards, Mike Hately

I basically gave up (still maintain familiarity since Perl is very common) and started using Python. I've grown to enjoy coding in Python and use it now for all of the system maintenance and monitoring scripts I write as well as for my web programming work. I'm not qualified to compare the two languages, but I will say that Perl's Oracle support is better developed and the CPAN archives are a very useful thing. In my opinion, Python is a better designed language and it is perfectly viable for production-level applications in an Oracle environment. ********************************************************************** The information contained in this e-mail is confidential and intended only for the use of the addressee.
