Thanks to Josh and Moof for pointing out the other alternatives for
connecting to Sybase and MS-SQLServer.
When looking at the DB-SIG web page, although I can see a list of
database modules there that support the DB-API in its different versions
and levels, I can see no easy way for that list to be updated with the
above sort of invaluable information.
Might it be a good idea to make at least part of the DB-SIG web page a
wiki/moin? A moin works well in the web framework/templating arena, so
perhaps it is also suitable for database modules?

Alan.
