eGenix.com mxODBC Connect
Python Database Interface
Version 1.0.2
Our new client-server product for connecting Python applications
to relational databases - from all major platforms

________________________________________________________________________
INTRODUCTION
The mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python allows users to
easily connect Python applications to all major databases on the
market today in a highly portable and convenient way.
Unlike our mxODBC Python extension, mxODBC Connect is designed
as client-server application, so you no longer need to find production
quality ODBC drivers for all the platforms you target with your Python
application.
Instead you use an easy to install Python client library which
connects directly to the mxODBC Connect database server over the
network.
This makes mxODBC Connect the ideal basis for writing cross-platform
database programs and utilities in Python, especially if you run
applications that need to communicate with databases such as MS SQL
Server and MS Access, Oracle Database, IBM DB2 and Informix, Sybase
ASE and Sybase Anywhere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP MaxDB and many more,
that run on Windows or Linux machines.
By removing the need to install and configure ODBC drivers on the
client side, mxODBC Connect greatly simplifies setup and
configuration of database driven client applications, while at
the same time making the network communication between client and
database server more efficient and more secure.

NEWS
mxODBC Connect 1.0.2 is a patch-level release of our new mxODBC Connect
product.
* More Secure
We have upgraded the server to our latest eGenix pyOpenSSL release
0.9.0-0.9.8k, which includes a number of important bug fixes to both
pyOpenSSL and the used OpenSSL library.
* More Robust
Previous versions had a timeout issue that we have solved with this
release. We have have also added a special case for shutting down the
client with a broken server connection. In such cases, the client will
no longer wait for a timeout and terminate much faster.
* Ideal for Building Bridges
mxODBC Connect Client now works on all major Python platforms. As a
result, connecting from e.g. Linux or Mac OS X to an SQL Server
database has never been easier. You can even keep the data sources you
already have configured on your Windows machine and connect to them as
if your application were running on the database server itself.
