Python has a the "Python Database API" (DB API 2.0) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/ All SQL database modules that I know of use this API. It's more decentralized than JDBC (not that I know much about JDBC), but it does the trick: as long as the SQL syntax is sufficiently compatible, you can easily swap in one database for another. > > One example over all: Oracle.

The open source databases aren't like that. -- Thomas -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
