Some Python database helper functions

Python is blessed with a standard DBAPI (DataBase Applications Program Interface) for database functions that requires very little work to move an application to a different database engine.

I have written some functions that go on top of the standard DBAPI to take care of building much of the SQL (Structured Query Language) that actually does the work at the DBAPI level.

• Documentation for the dbhelpers layer (in PostScript) (in PDF format)
• ora_db.py, the Oracle version
• my_db.py, the MySQL version
• sy_db.py, the Sybase version
• db_helpers.py, common code used by all the above
