Chapter 15. xMySQL: Relational Database Harvesting with Python SAX

Relational database technology is a well-established, proven technique for dealing with large volumes of rigidly structured data. In this chapter, we develop a simple but powerful, general-purpose database-harvesting utility, using Python SAX.

Python has interfaces to many database systems and APIs such as Oracle®, ODBC, DBM, and so on. In this chapter, we will use a relational database system known as MySQL.
