# SQLBase7-SA
|
|
|
|
SQLBase7-SA is a SQLAlchemy driver/dialect for the Centura SQLBase
|
|
database, specifically version 7.5.1.
|
|
|
|
## About the Project
|
|
|
|
From what I can tell, SQLBase is still an actively-developed database,
|
|
but it is no longer owned by Centura (see
|
|
[here](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gupta_Technologies)). Also, the
|
|
current version (according to [this
|
|
page](http://www.unify.com/Products/Data_Management/SQLBase/), as of
|
|
25 Apr 2010) is 11.5, so I have no idea how useful this project will
|
|
be for versions of SQLBase more recent than 7.5.1.
|
|
|
|
This project exists only for the sake of providing read-only access to
|
|
legacy data, specifically that used by the
|
|
[CAM32](http://www.camcommerce.com/products/CAM32.aspx) Point of Sale
|
|
software. It's possible that it could allow writing data, etc., but I
|
|
personally won't be adding any such features unless/until the need
|
|
arises.
|
|
|
|
I don't expect there to be much of anyone using SQLBase 7.5.1 at this
|
|
point (besides perhaps other CAM32 users), but if you do happen to
|
|
need additional functionality from this project or just have questions
|
|
or comments, feel free to drop me a line at lance@edbob.org.
|
|

|
## Downloads
|
|
|
|
The code is released under the [GNU General Public
|
|
License](http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), version 3.
|
|
|
|
It is available at [PyPI](http://pypi.python.org/pypi/SQLBase7-SA), so
|
|
the easiest way to get the package is with the command:
|
|
|
|
# pip install SQLBase7-SA
|
|
|
|
Again, this project is extremely specific to my needs, so I'm only
|
|
building eggs for Python 2.5 and 2.6 at this point. If you happen to
|
|
need something else then please contact me.
