ANNOUNCING eGenix.com mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python Version 0.9.1 (beta) Our new client-server product for connecting Python applications to relational databases - on all major platforms This announcement is also available on our web-site for online reading: http://www.egenix.com/company/news/eGenix-mxODBC-Connect-0.9.1-beta.html ________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python allows users to easily connect Python applications to all major databases on the market today in a highly portable and convenient way. This makes mxODBC Connect the ideal basis for writing cross-platform database programs and utilities in Python. mxODBC Connect extends our eGenix mx Python Extension series with a new client-server based product, that removes the need to install and configure ODBC drivers on the client side. This greatly simplifies setup and configuration of database driven client applications, while at the same time making the network communication between client and database server more efficient and more secure. * About Python: Python is an object-oriented Open Source programming language which runs on all modern platforms (http://www.python.org/). By integrating ease-of-use, clarity in coding, enterprise application connectivity and rapid application design, Python establishes an ideal programming platform for todays IT challenges. * About eGenix: eGenix is a consulting and software product company focused on providing professional quality services and products to Python users and developers (http://www.egenix.com/). ________________________________________________________________________ HOW IT WORKS mxODBC Connect consists of two parts: a server installation which typically runs directly on the database server and a client Python package which is installed on the client machine that runs the Python application. The server part uses our high-performance database adapter mxODBC to connect to the database server. The client package communicates with the server part over a TCP/IP network, optionally using SSL encryption, advanced authentication and access controls - a feature that many database drivers fail to deliver. By separating the client application database interface from the server and using mxODBC Connect, you gain several benefits: * high portability and flexibility * centralized configuration and administration * added security * automatic fail-over * scalability * lower costs For more information, please have a look at the product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/python/mxODBCConnect/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS mxODBC Connect 0.9 is a public beta release of our new mxODBC Connect product.
