Python Database Objects (PDO) 1.2.0 Released

[Bryan J Gudorf]

    PDO, an open source python module for interfacing with RDBMS (SQL
databases), has now reached 1.2.0!  PDO provides an object oriented API,
similar to that of ADO or JDBC, to python developers.  PDO features column
access by name.  This new release adds support for the cx_Oracle, DB2 and
adodbapi modules, allowing users to use PDO with a variety of database
systems.  9 different DBAPI modules are now supported, allowing for PDO to
be used with almost any RDBMS.  Additional features, such as query
parameters, have also been added in this release, as well as the usual
bug-fixes.

    PDO is released under a BSD style license.

    PDO supports the following DBAPI python modules and databases:
        MySQLdb  (supports MySQL)
        PySQLite (SQLite)
        pgdb (PostgreSQL)
        kinterbasdb (Firebird, Interbase)
        mxODBC (Many)
        pyDB2 (IBM's DB/2)
        cx_Oracle (Oracle)
        adodbapi (windows only - any RDBMS with an OLE DB provider or ODBC
driver)

    As we move forward in this series we will be adding further
functionality
and support. Community support and feedback is appreciated so that we can
make
PDO as useful as possible.
