The Python driver for Firebird
The firebird-driver
package provides official Python Database API 2.0-compliant driver
for the open source relational database Firebird ®. In addition to the minimal feature
set of the standard Python DB API, this driver also exposes the new (interface-based) client
API introduced in Firebird 3, and number of additional extensions and enhancements for
convenient use of Firebird RDBMS.
This documentation set is not a tutorial on SQL or Firebird; rather, it is a topical
presentation of driver’s feature set, with example code to demonstrate basic usage patterns.
For detailed information about Firebird features, see the
Firebird documentation, and especially
the excellent The Firebird Book
written by Helen Borrie and published by IBPhoenix.
See also
firebird-lib package for optional extensions to this driver.
Note
Requires Python 3.8+
Tip
