Regarding above statement, Yeah; what you said is true.  I am just
playing with inheritance to get a better understanding of it and since
I am working with database connection, then I might as learn it by
doing it.

Yes, I have confirmed it just by inheriting the connection class, I am
able to connect and perform normal database functions.  Sweet!!! This
is why I like Python.

Thanks for your help.
