DatabaseProgramming - PythonInfo Wiki
Starting point for learning about using databases from Python.
Relational Databases
Relational databases are the most widely used type of database, storing information as tables containing a number of rows.
The DB-API
The DB-API is a specification for a common interface to relational databases. The current version of the specification is version 2.0.
Future development
Historical development
HigherLevelDatabaseProgramming -- wrappers that provide simpler or higher-level database interfaces, such as object/relational mappers and SQL generators.
SQL Relay is a persistent database connection pooling, proxying and load balancing system for Unix systems, supporting many different databases and languages, including PostgreSQL and Python.
Other resources
Non-relational Databases
