  Yes, it will be integrated in 0.9 (and possibly before).

  Well, in a way you're right, however it lacks a lot of
  functionalities, for example: no NULL, no Date, Time, and Interval
  data types, no LIKE string predicate.  (cf. gadfly.sf.net/sql.html)

  Plus another thing I do not understand (or do I?)

<< Cursor based updates and deletes
     (justification: if you really need them the db design is flawed,
      and it's possible to use python instead).
>>

  --> does it really mean you cannot INSERT/UPDATE on a cursor??

  BTW, making a gadfly adaptor means that every non-supported feature
  should be detected and reported as such; I don't want to do this by
  now but if anyone feels like starting it I'll help for sure.

  You're also mentioning python-hosting.com: "plan 1" lets you use
  firebird, I guess it's probably a better choice there. If there is
  interest for that one I'll make the effort.

        Cheers,
