= Database Interfaces for Relational Database Systems =

Database systems employing a relational model, with support for SQL.

 * IBM [[DB2]]
 * [[Firebird]] (and Interbase)
 * [[Informix]]
 * [[Ingres]]
 * [[MySQL]]
 * [[Oracle]]
 * [[PostgreSQL]]
 * [[SAP DB]] (also known as "MaxDB")

== Database Systems for Embedding Into Applications ==

The following database systems are more oriented towards embedded applications:

  * GadFly

== gadfly ==
Gadfly is a simple relational database system implemented in Python based on the SQL Structured Query Language.
Currently use C-extension module for speed. Pure Python version included.

== ZODB ==
http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB Zope Object DB

== shelve ==
A [http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-shelve.html ''shelf''] is a persistent, dictionary-like object. The difference with ''dbm'' databases is that the values (not the keys!) in a shelf can be essentially arbitrary Python objects -- anything that the [http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-pickle.html pickle] module can handle. This includes most class instances, recursive data types, and objects containing lots of shared sub-objects. The keys are ordinary strings.


= Datafiles interfaces =
Things you open.

== xBase ==
Which stands for .dbf files interface.[[BR]]
.bdf files were produced by several old systems like dBase(II,III,IV), Fox(Base,Pro)

 * http://www.e-bachmann.dk/docs/xbase.htm

== dbm ==
A family of old unix plain hash tables. Has varieties like dbm, ndbm, gdbm, dbmdb185.[[BR]]
See [http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-anydbm.html anydbm],
[http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-dumbdbm.html dumbdbm],

[http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-dbm.html dbm],
[http://www.python.org/doc/current/lib/module-gdbm.html gdbm]
in Python Standard Library.

== MetaKit ==
http://www.equi4.com/metakit/python.html

== SQLite ==
Actualy it's a full-fleged SQL server, but embeddable. No external SQL server required. Think of Gadfly, only faster.
http://PySQLite.sf.net

= Special file interface =

 * http://python-dsv.sourceforge.net/ CSV or any separated file (see also PEP:305)
 * ConfigParser.py - Windows .ini format
 * gzip.py
 * zipfile.py
 * tar
 * pdf http://www.pythonware.com/
 * [[buzhug]]
 * [[SnakeSQL]]
