[p4] Accessing the Perforce database from *nix

[Dix, John]

I have used both MySQL and postgreSQL on LINUX systems. Don't know about
true UNIX.

Subject: [p4] Accessing the Perforce database from *nix

I recently discovered that we could access Perforce's database from
Windows with ODBC, and wanted to similarly access the database (for some
datamining to improve our scripts' performance) on a *nix platform.
However, I'm a little confused on how to do so in *nix-land.

Our scripts are written in Python, and are run on SunSolaris, SGI's IRIX
and HP-UX.  So, from those systems, how would I setup the connection?
Or, what areas/topics are recommended to read up on to figure it out?

As a side question, I was wondering what kind of database it is, whether
they use SQL, MySQL, etc?
