help - inserting values into database tables

[chajadan]

I always use PythonWin, part of the win32all distribution. It's a 
color-coded ide, with a basic syntax check, and has one nifty advantage 
over any other input editor I've tried: when you call a function, it takes 
the document strings and actually gives you a little note about what kind 
of input it's expecting!

So all in all it should be the same thing as it ever was, but now in the 
environment your particular task seems to ask for. The only "new" things 
will be the other possible windows-only features you might want to learn 
and use in your time on windows.

Happy computing!
