sqlmix 0.9.11

This module implements some nice common features for database access:

• Common parameters for database setup (no more “db” vs. “database” when you switch back-ends)

• Single-line SQL statements and single-row SELECTs:

  >>> db.Do("insert ...")
  >>> db.commit()
  

  >>> try: foo,bar = db.DoFn("select ... where id=123")
  >>> except sqlmix.NoData: print "Could not find your stuff"
  >>> else: print "Foo is",foo,"and bar is",bar,"-- happy now?"
  

• SELECT statements which can be used as iterators:

  >>> for a,b in db.DoSelect("select ..."):
  

  >>>     ...
  

• … or you can get the result as a dict, or through a callback.

• A common and clear syntax for placing values in SQL statements. (The Python DBI supports five incompatible ones.)

  >>> foo,bar = db.DoFn("select ... where id=${key}", key=whatever)
  

An adapter for the Twisted framework is included. It runs all queries in long-lived threads, with minimal overhead, packages the results in Deferred objects or simply uses a callback from the DB thread.

Sqlmix supports transactions, retrying them, and callback-on-final-success.

This module makes no attempt whatsoever to hide database-specific SQL syntax.
