Generic Database Interfaces and APIs
The Python standard for database interfaces is the Python DB-API (PEP 249) Most Python database interfaces adhere to this standard.
- Most databases have ODBC support; see the section below on ODBC modules.
- Java databases usually support JDBC, and can be used from Jython.
