Re: Python, PostgreSQL, What next?
I've studied Python and studied PostgreSQL. Good. What is the absolute next best step to take to merge these two finely together? I've heard of Just download psycopg2. Python and PostgreSQL are a match made in heavan. Make your connection, do querys, get data, earn profits. Object-Relational-Mappers are to direct SQL as phone sex is to the real thing.

I've heard of SQLAlchemy and some others but before I dive in, I would really like the opinion of those who tried it and other toolkits. My main concern is, I would like to completely work with a database from Python. What would you suggest I look into? Thank you for your time! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list

Let me venture that the biggest problem most people seem to have is that they endure great pain just to avoid learning SQL. SQL is a complete programming language in and of itself with a breadth and depth that most people miss. And it covers much terrain missed by Python. Which is a good thing because SQL and Python are perfect together. With this language mix you've got darn near everything licked. Get SQL in your head and all you will need would be the db-api interface with Postgres that Frederick Lundh pointed you to. All you want to do is throw SQL commands at Postgres and recover result sets into Python. It's a cinch. Thomas Bartkus -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Python, PostgreSQL, What next?
Before commiting to a RDBMS take a look at Gadfly. Depending on what you need a RDB for, (light duty), or (heavy duty) take a look at gadfly. Gadfly is made from all python code. Use stardard SQL statements like Select, Create and Drop Tables, etc. Newest version GadflyB5 http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/ jim-on-linux http://www.inqvista.com On Saturday 02 December 2006 11:33, Thomas Bartkus wrote: On Fri, 01 Dec 2006 23:04:37 -0800, vbgunz wrote: Hello all, I've studied Python and studied PostgreSQL.

Re: Python, PostgreSQL, What next?
I need to thank you all for your suggestions and recommendations. I am ultimately aiming to work in Python, PostgreSQL and Django and this link http://www.sqlalchemy.org/news.myt#item_3 sort of made my day :) I really appreciate all of your feedback and will go through Fredrik's links as soon as I get the chance. I thank you all again, I appreciate it very much! -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
