Subject FDB, kinterbasdb and SQLAlchemy
Author peter.jagielski
Hi Everyone,

New guy here - longtime Firebird user/dev, but new to using Firebird with Python. I have a couple of questions.

First, it appears from my reading that the fdb driver created by Pavel Cisar is the future of the Firebird Python driver.

Second, is there any documentation for fdb, including examples? I can't find any, but again, from my research, it seems that the kinterbasdb docs are enough to get me started? If there are no docs for fdb, I would be happy to document my journey as I make my way through using fdb (with SQLAlchemy - see below).

Third, is it possible to use the fdb driver with SQLAlchemy? If so, how? It appears that SQLAlchemy is hard-coded to use kinterbasdb.

Thanks to all who reply!!!
