Most of what you learn working with SQLite will apply to any relational database you use from Python - how to use DB-API and how to write SQL (or how to avoid writing SQL with SQLObject or SQLAlchemy). There are pesky differences in data types and how to pass parameters but the basics are the same. Kent -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
