+###########################
+Using CrateDB with turbodbc
+###########################
+
+
+*****
+About
+*****
+
+This section of the documentation describes how to connect to `CrateDB`_
+with `turbodbc`_, by providing a few example programs.
+
+The examples use the `unixODBC`_ implementation of `ODBC`_, and the `PostgreSQL
+ODBC driver`_, for connecting to the `PostgreSQL wire protocol`_ interface of
+`CrateDB`_.
+
+This folder also contains ``Dockerfile`` files providing environments to
+exercise the examples on different operating systems, like Arch Linux,
+Red Hat (CentOS), Debian, and SUSE Linux.
+
+
+************
+Introduction
+************
+
+`Turbodbc`_ is a Python module to access relational databases via the `Open
+Database Connectivity (ODBC)`_ interface. In addition to complying with
+the `Python Database API Specification 2.0`_, turbodbc offers built-in `NumPy`_
+and `Apache Arrow`_ support for improved performance. Their slogan is:
+
+    Don’t wait minutes for your results, just blink.
+
+*Note: The description texts have been taken from turbodbc's documentation 1:1.*
+
+Description
+===========
+
+Its primary target audience are data scientists 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). For maximum performance, turbodbc internally
+relies on batched data transfer instead of single-record communication as
+other popular ODBC modules do.
+
+Why should I use turbodbc instead of other ODBC modules?
+========================================================
+
+- Short answer: turbodbc is faster.
+- Slightly longer answer: turbodbc is faster, *much* faster if you want to
+  work with NumPy.
+- Medium-length answer: The author has tested turbodbc and pyodbc (probably
+  the most popular Python ODBC module) with various databases (Exasol,
+  PostgreSQL, MySQL) and corresponding ODBC drivers. He found turbodbc to be
+  consistently faster.
+
+Smooth. What is the trick?
+==========================
+
+Turbodbc exploits buffering.
+
+- Turbodbc implements both sending parameters and retrieving result sets using
+  buffers of multiple rows/parameter sets. This avoids round trips to the ODBC
+  driver and (depending how well the ODBC driver is written) to the database.
+- Multiple buffers are used for asynchronous I/O. This allows to interleave
+  Python object conversion and direct database interaction (see performance
+  options below).
+- Buffers contain binary representations of data. NumPy arrays contain binary
+  representations of data. Good thing they are often the same, so instead of
+  converting, the driver can just copy data.
+
+
+*****
+Setup
+*****
+
+Install prerequisites
+=====================
+
+Arch Linux::
+
+    # See `dockerfiles/archlinux.Dockerfile`.
+
+CentOS Stream::
+
+    dnf install --enablerepo=crb -y boost-devel g++ postgresql-odbc python3 python3-devel python3-pip unixODBC-devel
+
+Debian::
+
+    apt-get install --yes build-essential libboost-dev odbc-postgresql unixodbc-dev
+
+macOS/Homebrew::
+
+    brew install psqlodbc unixodbc
+
+SUSE Linux Enterprise Server::
+
+    # See `dockerfiles/sles.Dockerfile`.
+
+Install Python sandbox
+======================
+::
+
+    # Create Python virtualenv and install dependency packages.
+    python3 -m venv .venv
+    source .venv/bin/activate
+    pip install --upgrade --requirement=requirements-prereq.txt
+    pip install --upgrade --requirement=requirements.txt --verbose
+
+.. note::
+
+    The `turbodbc pip installation documentation`_ says:
+    Please ``pip install numpy`` before installing turbodbc, because turbodbc
+    will search for the ``numpy`` Python package at installation/compile time.
+    If NumPy is not installed, turbodbc will not compile the `NumPy
+    support`_ features. Similarly, please ``pip install pyarrow`` before
+    installing turbodbc if you would like to use the `Apache Arrow
+    support`_.
+
+
+*****
+Usage
+*****
+
+Run CrateDB::
+
+    docker run --rm -it --publish=4200:4200 --publish=5432:5432 crate \
+        -Cdiscovery.type=single-node -Ccluster.routing.allocation.disk.threshold_enabled=false
+
+Invoke demo program on workstation::
+
+	python demo.py
+
+Exercise demo program using Docker, on different operating systems::
+
+    docker build --progress=plain --tag local/python-turbodbc-demo --file=dockerfiles/archlinux.Dockerfile .
+    docker build --progress=plain --tag local/python-turbodbc-demo --file=dockerfiles/centos.Dockerfile .
+    docker build --progress=plain --tag local/python-turbodbc-demo --file=dockerfiles/debian.Dockerfile .
+    docker build --progress=plain --tag local/python-turbodbc-demo --file=dockerfiles/sles.Dockerfile .
+
+    docker run --rm -it --volume=$(pwd):/src --network=host local/python-turbodbc-demo python3 /src/demo.py
+
+
+*******
+Backlog
+*******
+
+The patch just contains a basic example within ``demo.py``. Advanced usage
+examples to be exercised are tracked within the `backlog`_.
