[DB-SIG] Are there examples of "cursor" use?

[Kevin Cole]

Hi,

I'm working with PostgreSQL and Python.  According to www.python.org,
D'Arcy J.M. Cain's pgsqldb.py implements the DB-API and after looking at
AMK's DB-API documentation, I've tried stuff like:

   import pgsqldb                                  (OK)
   db = pgsqldb.connect("my_database")             (OK)
   cursor = db.cursor()                          (Not OK)

That didn't work so I tried several other things and eventually tried:

   cursor = pgsqldb._cursor("my_database")         (OK)

but then stuff like cursor.execute("select * from my_table") doesn't
seem to work either.

So, is there any documentation for SQL novices or example that uses
cursor?
