Based on this URL http://wiki.python.org/moin/DatabaseInterfaces , is

it correct to conclude that there is no RDBMS agnostic, single/uniform DB
access API for Python ?

Something in the lines of JDBC for Java, DBD for Perl etc. ?
How is the RDBMS change handled for solutions which need to work with

different RDBMSs ??

That appears to be only an API specification. Are there any implementations
of that ?

You might want to take a look at Dabo (http://dabodev.com). They have
a backend-agnostic interface for working with different databases. I
don't do database apps myself, so I can't comment on how well it
works, but based on the comments of others on the Dabo email lists, it
seems as though it works well enough.
