Thanks.

As already indicated by Frank, it would be better to use fdb (or 
pyfirebirdsql), kinterbasdb is no longer actively maintained since 2007.


Some comments

- Your style is conversational which is helpful for an introduction, but 
I think the stream-of-thought parts need to be a more compact and less 
'personal'.
- I think that as a result of the stream-of-thought, some sections raise 
questions, but don't explicitly answer them, or posit a conclusion, 
without explaining it (eg in Choosing our Transaction Handling)
- Add some more in-depth technical details on what the code does (or add 
some references to documentation)
- The code on page 3/4 has an SQL injection bug, specifically: 
"lower(name) like '%%%s%%'" % quote(flt)

Either avoid the SQL injection or specifically point this out with a warning

Some language nitpicking
- i should be I
- Don't capitalize words that shouldn't be capitalized in English

I haven't carefully reviewed the python code, as I haven't actively done 
things with Python for years.

Nice, but I would prefer to see fdb instead of the quite outdated 
kinterbasdb:


eg.:

import fdb
conn=None

modifyTPB=fdb.ISOLATION_LEVEL_READ_COMMITED #write +read_committed +wait
readOnlyTPB=fdb.ISOLATION_LEVEL_READ_COMMITED_RO
...

conn = fdb.connect('examples','SYSDBA','masterkey')



kind regards
Frank

Certainly something odd was going on.  In fact, I released this
message only yesterday, having had no notifications from SF about it.
On going into the Admin interface, I found the forwarding address for
admin had been deleted and there was a small pile of SPAM there, along
with Nico's message for moderation.

Maybe we need to think about a migration to Google groups or Yahoo
groups for this list. We can no longer get the subscriber list but I
have an archive going back to Noah's flood.  It should not be too hard
to assemble a migration list.

For some reason your message didn't end up on the list until now, but I 
think that would be a great idea!
