Python Database Objects (PDO) 1.2.0 Released

PDO, an open source python module for interfacing with RDBMS (SQL databases), has now reached 1.2.0! PDO provides an object oriented API, similar to that of ADO or JDBC, to python developers. PDO features column access by name. This new release adds support for the cx_Oracle, DB2 and adodbapi modules, allowing users to use PDO with a variety of database systems. 9 different DBAPI modules are now supported, allowing for PDO to be used with almost any RDBMS. Additional features, such as query parameters, have also been added in this release, as well as the usual bug-fixes.

PDO is released under a BSD style license.

PDO supports the following DBAPI python modules and databases:
MySQLdb (supports MySQL)
PySQLite (SQLite)
pgdb (PostgreSQL)
kinterbasdb (Firebird, Interbase)
mxODBC (Many)
pyDB2 (IBM's DB/2)
cx_Oracle (Oracle)
adodbapi (windows only - any RDBMS with an OLE DB provider or ODBC driver)
