| == buzhug == [[http://buzhug.sourceforge.net/|buzhug]] is a pure-Python database engine, using a Pythonic, no-SQL syntax. The data is stored and accessed on disk (it is not an in-memory database). The implementation has been designed to make all operations, and especially selection, as fast as possible with an interpreted language. A limited benchmark using the same use cases as SQLite's author shows that buzhug is much faster than other pure-Python modules (KirbyBase, gadfly). SQLite, which is implemented in C, is faster, but only less than 3 times on the average. == SnakeSQL == [[http://www.pythonweb.org/projects/snakesql/|SnakeSQL]] is a pure Python SQL database written to remove the dependence of the Python Web Modules on 3rd party drivers for non-Python databases like MySQL but designed to be a useful database in its own right. ----- These entries still need to be merged into the resp. sub-pages: == Oracle == * cx_Oracle: http://www.python.net/crew/atuining/cx_Oracle/ * DCOracle: http://www.zope.org/Products/DCOracle/ * This is for old Oracle versions (7 and 8). * DCOracle2: http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 * For Oracle 8i and up. * mxODBC: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ * Supports the [[http://www.oracle.com/technology/tech/oci/instantclient/index.html|Oracle Instant Client]] which is available for Windows and many popular Unix platforms. == IBM DB2 == * More info on [[DB2]] == Sybase ASE == * sybase * old: http://www.object-craft.com.au/projects/sybase/ * new: http://python-sybase.sourceforge.net/ * mxODBC: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ * Supports Sybase ASE. == Sybase SQL Anywhere == * sqlanydb: http://dcx.sybase.com/1100en/dbprogramming_en11/pg-python.html * Implements with extensions Database API 2.0 * mxODBC: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ * Supports SQL Anywhere. == MaxDB/SAPDB == * sdb: http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/3c/5c02409d59ea69e10000000a155106/frameset.htm * mxODBC: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/ * MaxDB/SAPDB's native CLI is ODBC compatible and mxODBC can link directly against the CLI libs on Unix.

This page lists database interfaces available for Python. It may also help in finding a suitable database engine for you to use in your Python database applications.
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.
