.. FDB documentation master file, created by sphinx-quickstart on Wed Jan 7 12:29:48 2009. You can adapt this file completely to your liking, but it should at least contain the root `toctree` directive. ############################### Welcome to FDB's documentation! ############################### FDB is a `Python <http://python.org>`__ library package that implements `Python Database API 2.0`-compliant support for the open source relational database `Firebird® <http://www.firebirdsql.org>`__. In addition to the minimal feature set of the standard Python DB API, FDB also exposes nearly the entire native client API of the database engine. FDB is free -- covered by a permissive BSD-style `license <license.html>`__ that both commercial and noncommercial users should find agreeable. This documentation set is not a tutorial on Python, SQL, or Firebird; rather, it is a topical presentation of FDB's feature set, with example code to demonstrate basic usage patterns. For detailed information about Firebird features, see the `Firebird documentation <http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=doc>`__, and especially the excellent `The Firebird Book <http://www.ibphoenix.com/products/books/firebird_book>`__ written by Helen Borrie and published by APress.
