PyfirebirdSQL

firebirdsql package is a set of Firebird RDBMS (https://firebirdsql.org/) bindings for Python (Written in pure Python : no C compiler needed or fbclient library)

see https://pyfirebirdsql.readthedocs.io/en/latest/

It works on Python 2.7 and 3.8+.

But if you want to use the timezone feature of Firebird 4.0 ...

• Not supported by python2.7
• Python 3.8 requires backports.zoneinfo https://pypi.org/project/backports.zoneinfo/ install

Example

Python Database API Specification v2.0

https://peps.python.org/pep-0249/

import firebirdsql
conn = firebirdsql.connect(
    host='localhost',
    database='/foo/bar.fdb',
    port=3050,
    user='alice',
    password='secret'
)
cur = conn.cursor()
cur.execute("select * from baz")
for c in cur.fetchall():
    print(c)
conn.close()

asyncio

In Python3, you can use asyncio to write the following.

This API is experimental. If there are any mistakes, please correct them in the pull request and send.

Use connect

import asyncio
import firebirdsql
from firebirdsql import aio

async def conn_example():
    conn = await aio.connect(
        host='localhost',
        database='/foo/bar.fdb',
        port=3050,
        user='alice',
        password='secret'
    )
    cur = conn.cursor()
    await cur.execute("select * from baz")
    print(await cur.fetchall())
asyncio.run(conn_example())

Use pool

import asyncio
import firebirdsql
from firebirdsql import aio

async def pool_example(loop):
    pool = await aio.create_pool(
        host='localhost',
        database='/foo/bar.fdb',
        port=3050,
        user='alice',
        password='secret'
        loop=loop,
    )
    async with pool.acquire() as conn:
        async with conn.cursor() as cur:
            await cur.execute("select * from baz")
            print(await cur.fetchall())
    pool.close()
    await pool.wait_closed()

loop = asyncio.get_event_loop()
loop.run_until_complete(pool_example(loop))
loop.close()
