[Jython-dev] ANN: version 2.1 of zxJDBC

[brian z. <bz...@zi...>]

Version 2.1 of zxJDBC has just been released

The zxJDBC package provides a nearly 100% Python DB API 2.0 compliant
interface for database connectivity in Jython.  It is implemented
entirely in Java and makes use of the JDBC API.  This means any
database capable of being accessed through JDBC, either directly or
using the JDBC-ODBC bridge, can be manipulated using zxJDBC.

Go to the zxJDBC web page for more details:

What's new:
 - Added the ability to choose dynamic or static iteration of the underlying
   ResultSet (see the documentation for a discussion on when to use which
   flavor).
 - Added ability to instantiate a zxJDBC connection from a DataSource or
   through a JNDI lookup.
 - Added 'pipe' package to assist in transfering data between a sink and a
   source, such as another database, an xml document or csv file.
 - Fixed bug in PyCursor which did correctly add any SQLWarnings to .warnings
 - Fixed all thrown exceptions from within Java code to properly be caught in
   Python try/excepts.
 - Made all classes Jython 2.1 compatible by implementing ClassDictInit.
 - Added DataHandlerFilter to facilitate custom datahandlers.
 - Loads of new unit tests.
 - Some performance improvements.

Compatibility:
 - Tested with Jython 2.1a2+.  It might work with older versions, but it has
   not been tested.
 - Tested with Java 1.3.

thanks,
