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.

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.
Database Interfaces for Relational Database Systems

Non-Relational Databases
Native Python Databases
buzhug
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
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:
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. It also supports the ODBC driver on Windows.
Informix
InformixDB: http://informixdb.sourceforge.net/
mxODBC: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBC/
- Note: The Informix ODBC drivers are included in the Informix CSDK.
