| Full description | ADOdb is a database abstraction library. A … ADOdb is a database abstraction library. ADOdb was originally developed for PHP, and ported to Python. The Python version implements a subset of the PHP version. You might ask why Python needs a database abstraction library when Python provides the official DB API. Unfortunately the DB API does not encapsulate differences in the database implementations. For example, to select a limited number of rows, say 10 rows, you would have to use very different SQL for different databases: * MS SQL select top 10 from table * MySQL and PostgreSQL select * from table limit 10 * Oracle select * from (select * from table) where rownum <= 10 * These differences are handled by ADOdb (using SelectLimit), but not by the Python DB API. Other important database differences transparently handled by ADOdb include date-formating, associative arrays (records as dictionaries) and LOB-handling. records as dictionaries) and LOB-handling. |
