Turbodbc is a Python module to access relational databases via the [Open Database Connectivity (ODBC)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_Database_Connectivity) interface. Its primary target audience are data scientist that use databases for which no efficient native Python drivers are available.

For maximum compatibility, turbodbc complies with the [Python Database API Specification 2.0 (PEP 249)](https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0249/). For maximum performance, turbodbc offers built-in [NumPy](http://www.numpy.org) and [Apache Arrow](https://arrow.apache.org) support and internally relies on batched data transfer instead of single-record communication as other popular ODBC modules do.

Turbodbc is free to use ([MIT license](https://github.com/blue-yonder/turbodbc/blob/master/LICENSE)), open source ([GitHub](https://github.com/blue-yonder/turbodbc)), works with Python 2.7 and Python 3.4+, and is available for Linux, OSX, and Windows.

Turbodbc is routinely tested with [MySQL](https://www.mysql.com), [PostgreSQL](https://www.postgresql.org), [EXASOL](http://www.exasol.com), and [MSSQL](http://microsoft.com/sql), but probably also works with your database.
