| Hello, My employer is looking at implementing an ERP system based on the Progress database and 4GL system. I have never worked with Progress before, but have worked other SQL databases like Oracle and Postgres. I would like to interface with Progress from Python (preferably) or Perl (second choice) or Java (last choice) on my Linux machine. Is there any Progress module for Python DB-API or Perl DBI? I tried Googling, but unfortunately search terms like Python Progress or "DB-API" Progress yield lots of message about "making progress" and status updates, rather than anything like what I'm looking for. Thanks! -- John Goerzen |

| I am not aware of any interface packages for either Python or Perl. It does support connection via JDBC, and ODBC. However, by far the best way to work with Progress is its own 4gl language, which is far richer than SQL.
