You may use ODBC or ADO (<http://sourceforge.net/projects/adodbapi>).
ODBC comes with win32 extensions and is seamlessly integrated with dbi
(1) . So when you write your script, besides of opening the connection
there is no real difference what kind of relational database is used.
ADO supports dbi-2.0.

Good luck
