[DB-SIG] Draft of Database topic guide

[Sevenster, Renier R]

You can find the full documentation set for Oracle at technet.oracle.com.
Registration on this site is free and it also has a lot of other technical
information. All the documentation for Sybase is located on
sybooks.sybase.com/dynaweb.

What is the status on the free Oracle module?

Under 'Database Modules' and 'Databases in Python' I guess.

You may also want to add the URL for the DB-API 1.1 pre-proposal:

     http://starship.skyport.net/~lemburg/DatabaseAPI-1.1.html

I will continue work on that as soon as find some time (and test
drive it using mxODBC).
