"""
dbx is a simple SQL database abstraction layer for Python.

The goal of dbx is to make using a SQL database as simple as
possible while providing a consistent API across different
databases.    
    
The Python DB-API is powerful, yet complex.  An application 
that simply needs to execute a query and iterate over the
results does not need all that power and can greatly benefit
from a simpler interface.

This is an example using DB-API:
    
  |  import MySQLdb
  |  conn = MySQLdb.connect(db="test", host="localhost",
  |                         user="user", passwd="pass")
  |  cursor = conn.cursor(MySQLdb.cursors.DictCursor)
  |  cursor.execute("SELECT name, phone FROM User")
  |  rows = cursor.fetchall()
  |  for i in rows:
  |      print i["name"], i["phone"]
  |  cursor.close()
  |  conn.close()

This is an example using dbx:

  |  import dbx.mysql as dbx
  |  db = dbx.MySQL("test", "localhost", "user", "pass")
  |  rows = db.listQuery("SELECT name, phone FROM User")
  |  for i in rows:
  |      print i["name"], i["phone"]
  |  db.close()

As you can see, it is easier to use dbx because you do not
need to deal with cursors.  You also do not need to worry
about how results are returned, since they are always
returned as dictionaries.  Exceptions are also handled
consistently.
