As long as you use some module that speaks the Python Database API (PEP 249, if a quick Google search has given me the right number), use whatever talks to the database back-end you want - all your code will be basically the same. Are you starting a completely new project and creating its database? Go with SQLite or PostgreSQL (the former if your needs are simple, the latter if you want a full-featured database engine); both are open source and excellent. Are you connecting to an existing database? Use that database engine, obviously :) ChrisA -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
