[PyQt] PyQt and DB API.

[objectref]

Hi Andreas,

Thanks for the reply!

I see where you head it and I agree with you. However, I am not aware of the
following:
There are modules out there that enables you to get good performance for a
particular database (let's sey Sql Server and adodbapi module) yet remain DB
API compliant.

In PyQt I will have to use its ODBC driver for doing this so I am wondering
if I have a performance loss there...


Thanks for the help!


Anthony

Well, that depends on two things: 

a) is there something that Qt/PyQt delivers out-of-the-box, which you'd
need to write yourself with the builtin DB-API? (for example it has
support for the model/view stuff, it ships with a couple of databases
supported, while python only supports sqlite out of the box)

b) which API is nicer for you to work with? (unasked answer from me:
Qt/PyQt is a _lot_ nicer for me personally, DB-API feels like the C-API
that the databases offer)
