In deference to Perl, there's nothing quite as good as DBI, IMHO.

I've used cx_Oracle and DCOracle2 and I prefer cx_Oracle. With cx_Oracle you can directly exec PL/SQL and Oracle supplied packages. It also has a nice wrapper function for getting at LOB's without having to deal with dbms_lob. You can easily do connection pooling with cx_Oracle's usage of O9i's enhanced OCI capabilities. Blah, blah, blah. Check it out at http://www.computronix.com/utilities.shtml.

Of course there's ODBC and even JDBC with Jython. Check out the Database SIG in python.org.

Steve, I think it is a great idea to try showing off "ugly duckling" (that Python is) to the world. On second look (as the first for some reason always seems to go to Perl) Python is quite amazing piece of=20 tool, relatively easy to master but very powerful, tool "for life"=20 (if there is such a thing in IT world).=20

I am puzzled how Python never managed to catch wider attention of=20 DBA types. Hopefully your presentation will mark first step in=20 "right" direction.

Looking forward to finally figure out "The Meaning of Life" on IOUG...
