  * ChoosingDatabase -- lists databases supported by Python libraries.

  * DatabaseInterfaces -- another list of databases accessible from Python. (Should merge this list with the above one...)
 * DatabaseInterfaces -- List of available Python databases interfaces. This also helps you choose the right database for your application.

Starting point for learning about using databases from Python.

Relational Databases

Relational databases are the most widely used type of database, storing information as tables containing a number of rows.

  • DatabaseInterfaces -- List of available Python databases interfaces. This also helps you choose the right database for your application.

The DB-API

Future development

Historical development

  • HigherLevelDatabaseProgramming -- wrappers that provide simpler or higher-level database interfaces, such as object/relational mappers and SQL generators.

  • SQL Relay is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying and load balancing system for Unix systems, supporting many different databases and languages, including PostgreSQL and Python.
