Then any database tutorial covering SQL will do. Of course there are  
differences between different DBMS, but the basics are the same. Once you  
know the SQL sentence you want to execute (e.g. "select name, salary from  
employee order by name") consult the Python docs to see how to actually  
write it:

conn = sqlite3.connect('acme.db')
cursor = conn.cursor()
cursor.execute("select name, salary from employee order by name")
for row in cursor:
     name, salary = row
     print "%20s %8.2f" % (name, salary)
