MySQL - Jython2.2

[HMS Surprise]

I thought I had a winner mySql-python but it require2 python 2.3-5 and
the tool I am using (maxq) is based on jython 2.2. Is there another
way that I could perform queries from python?


thanx,

jh

For Jython you should use the JDBC driver for the database system in
question (MySQL Connector/J in this case, I believe [1]), either
writing code which uses the JDBC API directly, or using the zxJDBC
module for DB-API compatibility (such as that provided by most other
Python database modules). See here for details:

The low version number is not your main problem. The main problem is
that Jython is based on Java, and it can not use CPython modules such as
MySQL-python. You'll need JDBC:

I have not tried this combination myself, so your mileage may vary, but
in theory this should work.

Good luck,

If you want to query via Jython, use the jdbc driver from www.mysql.com,
and you an then use JDBC from within Jython. You'll just need to add
the mysql jdbc jar to your classpath.

Re: MySQL - Jython2.2

Thanks, everyone.

I will give it a try. Don't know a lot about mySQL (or any flavor SQL)
but from some minute exposure to the ODBC connector I am guessing that
jdbc provides a connector.

Wish me luck....
