EGENIX MX COMMERCIAL PACKAGE OVERVIEW

mxODBC - High-Performance ODBC 3.5 Interface for Python

      mxODBC is an extension package that provides a Python Database
      API compliant interface to ODBC capable database drivers and
      managers.

      In addition to the capabilities provided through the standard DB
      API it also gives access to a rich set of catalog methods which
      allow you to scan the database for tables, procedures,
      etc. Furthermore, it uses the mxDateTime package for date/time
      value interfacing eliminating most of the problems these types
      normally introduce (other in/output formats are available too).

      mxODBC allows you to interface to more than one database from one
      process, making inter-database interfacing very flexible and
      reliable.

      The source version includes a variety of pre-configured setups for
      many commonly used databases such as MySQL, Oracle, Informix,
      Solid, SAP DB, Sybase ASA and ASE, DBMaker and many more. The
      pre-compiled versions for Windows and Linux include the interfaces
      to the standard ODBC manager on these platforms to allow for a
      more easily configurable setup.
