Python defines a database API specification (currently DB-API 2.0) and module writers provide various database adapters which implement this API. You can find out more about this at: http://www.python.org/topics/database/ There are currently two Oracle database adapters in common use: DCOracle2 from the Zope Community: http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 cx_Oracle from Computronix: http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml Since the DB-API defines the methods that a database adapter implements, they both provide the same functionality at the basic connect/query/retrieve results level. There aren't any differences between these two adapters that I've noticed in my work. > -- > Glenn Stauffer > Swarthmore College > Swarthmore, PA -- Please see the official ORACLE-L FAQ: http://www.orafaq.net -- Author: Glenn Stauffer INET: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Fat City Network Services -- 858-538-5051 http://www.fatcity.com San Diego, California -- Mailing list and web hosting services --------------------------------------------------------------------- To REMOVE yourself from this mailing list, send an E-Mail message to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] (note EXACT spelling of 'ListGuru') and in the message BODY, include a line containing: UNSUB ORACLE-L (or the name of mailing list you want to be removed from).
