In response to Thomas Weholts question regarding writing a general database-abstraction layer for Twisted I thought I'd share this with you all. I have made a rewrite of the adbapi to use ADOdb for Python (http://adodb.sourceforge.net/#pydownload). It seems to be working fine but I haven't really tested it since I just finished it yesterday. Let me know of this is something that sounds useful to any of you. I'm also thinking of doing a rewrite of the sqlreflector and rowobject to support a more dynamic type checking and validation. Since I'm quite new in this community I don't really know what has been done before and not. So any input is appreciated.

I'm not too familiar with ADOdb, what are the benefits? By rewrite, do you mean that the new version only uses ADOdb, or have you added ADOdb as a supported back-end? sqlreflector and row could definitely use a reworking. I don't think they are used much. I think people mainly use adbapi and write their own object mapping system. What sort of things did you have in mind? dave
