Can you state your problem more generally? Reason I am asking is that it is
|
|
not clear what you are trying to do.
|
|
|

Python can work with databases. ODBC is a standard(ish) way of working with
|
|
databases. You can use Python to addto/change/etc data in databases (both
|
|
directly and via ODBC - search the Python website for "ODBC" for more details -
|
|
I have used Sam Rushing's ODBC access stuff with success, but there are other
|
|
approaches available). You can then use Access to manipulate/create reports
|
|
on/etc such databases.
|
|
|
|
It is certainly possible to implement a DBMS in Python (check out Gadfly!), but
|
|
I suspect that you are asking a different question. (?)
