Do people use Python connected to MySQL? If so, what client do you
use? I've seen two, the MySQLdb, and the generic mxODBC. The latter
seems better, but I was unable to compile the required infrastructure,
i.e. the myodbc libraries. What are the experiences of others?
I ask this because I will soon start working for a company that
connects Perl with Microsoft SQL server extensively. (They connect
through, I think, Sybase ODBC drivers. I could be wrong.) I would
like to gradually convert their infrastructure to more maintainable
Python, so I'm using MySQL for practice.
If there are useful experiences or cautionary tales regarding mxODBC
and MSSQL/Sybase, I'd like to hear them too.
