.. KInterbasDB 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 KInterbasDB's documentation! ####################################### KInterbasDB is a `Python <http://python.org>`__ extension package that implements `Python Database API 2.0`-compliant support for the open source relational database `Firebird® <http://www.firebirdsql.org>`__ and some versions of its proprietary cousin `Interbase® <http://www.interbase.com>`__. In addition to the minimal feature set of the standard Python DB API, KInterbasDB also exposes nearly the entire native client API of the database engine. KInterbasDB 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 KInterbasDB'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/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&page=ibp_firebird_book>`__ written by Helen Borrie and published by APress. .. module:: kinterbasdb :synopsis: Python Database API 2.0 Compliant driver for Firebird Documentation Contents: *********************** .. toctree:: :maxdepth: 2 installation tutorial Python-DB-API-2.0 python-db-api-compliance beyond-python-db-api concurrency thread-safety-overview links changelog license Indices and tables ****************** * :ref:`genindex` * :ref:`modindex` * :ref:`search`
