INTRODUCTION

The mxODBC Connect Database Interface for Python allows users to
easily connect Python applications to all major databases on the
market today in a highly portable and convenient way.

Unlike our mxODBC Python extension, mxODBC Connect is designed
as client-server application, so you no longer need to find production
quality ODBC drivers for all the platforms you target with your Python
application.

Instead you use an easy to install Python client library which
connects directly to the mxODBC Connect database server over the
network.

This makes mxODBC Connect the ideal basis for writing cross-platform
database programs and utilities in Python, especially if you run
applications that need to communicate with databases such as MS SQL
Server and MS Access, Oracle Database, IBM DB2 and Informix, Sybase
ASE and Sybase Anywhere, MySQL, PostgreSQL, SAP MaxDB and many more,
that run on Windows or Linux machines.

By removing the need to install and configure ODBC drivers on the
client side, mxODBC Connect greatly simplifies setup and
configuration of database driven client applications, while at
the same time making the network communication between client and
database server more efficient and more secure.

NEWS

mxODBC Connect 1.0.0 is the first general availability release of our
new mxODBC Connect product.

With this release we have further improved the performance and
round-trip times of the mxODBC Connect network layer even more.

We are now able to achieve a *more than 10 times better performance*
for a typical multi-tier application that runs on Linux and connects
to a MS SQL Server database running on a Windows host, compared to the
same application using mxODBC and the FreeTDS ODBC driver.

Thanks to everyone who participated in the public beta !
