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 is a specification for a common interface to relational databases. The current version of the specification is version 2.0.

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.

DatabaseBooks -- lists a few recommended titles for learning about databases. These books aren't Python-specific.
