On database portability... While it is noble to try to have a generic interface to these libraries, the end result is that the databases are always different enough that the interface just has to work differently. My experience in going from one database to another is that you should revisit your entire database interface anyway. (I remember going from Sybase to Oracle when we had Perl's DBI way back when. It was still very, very messy.)
So, pick a good module, learn it inside and out, and plan on using a completely different module if you use a different database, with perhaps at least a slightly different interface. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
