The sapdb.dbm, sapdb.loader and sapdb.sql modules are used along with Python scripts to access MaxDB database instances as well as the Database Manager and Loader database tools. You can use these modules on all operating systems supported by the database system.
The modules are components of the MaxDB software, which you can download from the MaxDB website (see Download and Installation Profile). You will require a version of Python between 1.5 and 2.3.
This information applies to database systems with Version 7.4 and higher. To use this documentation effectively, you must have working knowledge of the Python programming language. For more information on the database system, see Database System Concepts and Glossary.
