Choosing a Database System
This page should help in choosing the right database system.
Relational Database Systems
Database systems employing a relational model, with support for SQL.
IBM DB2
Firebird (and Interbase)
SAP DB (also known as "MaxDB")
Microsoft SQL Server
The following database systems are more oriented towards embedded applications:
To add new entries (choose DatabaseTemplate when creating the page).
Database Interfaces and APIs
- Most databases have ODBC support; see the section below on ODBC modules.
- Java databases usually support JDBC, and can be used from Jython.

ODBC Support
ceODBC: http://ceodbc.sourceforge.net
pyodbc: http://pyodbc.sourceforge.net
mxODBC: A commercial Python extension that provides ODBC connectivity on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and many other Unix platforms.
mxODBC Connect: A commercial client-server product that allows connecting Python to ODBC compatible databases running on remote servers without requiring an ODBC driver on the client side.
ODBTPAPI: http://benjiyork.com/odbtp.html
ADO Support
adodbapi (http://adodbapi.sourceforge.net/): A Python module that makes it easy to use Microsoft ADO for connecting to databases and other data sources.
