What is ceODBC? ceODBC is a Python extension module that enables access to databases using the ODBC API and conforms to the Python database API 2.0 specifications with a few additions. I have tested this on Windows against SQL Server, Access, dBASE and Oracle and others have reported success on more obscure drivers. On Linux I have tested this against PostgreSQL. Where do I get it? http://ceodbc.sourceforge.net What's new? 1) Added support for time data as requested by Dmitry Solitsky. 2) Added support for Python 2.4 as requested by Lukasz Szybalski. 3) Added support for setting the autocommit flag in the connection constructor since some drivers do not support transactions and raise a "driver not capable" exception if any attempt is made to turn autocommit off; thanks to Carl Karsten for working with me to resolve this problem. 4) Added support for calculating the size and display size of columns in the description attribute of cursors as requested by Carl Karsten. 5) Use SQLFreeHandle() rather than SQLCloseCursor() since closing a cursor in the ODBC sense is not the same as closing a cursor in the DB API sense and caused strange exceptions to occur if no query was executed before calling cursor.close(). 6) Added additional documentation to README.txt as requested by Lukasz Szybalski. 7) Tweaked setup script and associated configuration files to make it easier to build and distribute; better support for building with cx_Logging if desired.
