# SET UP THE CONNECTION

    # CRUD OPERATIONS
    createTable(con)
    retrieveTable(con)
    updateRow(con)
    deleteRow(con)



except mdb.Error, e:

    print "Error %d: %s" % (e.args[0],e.args[1])
    sys.exit(1)


finally:

    if con:
        con.close()

This is good but please do one that can receive parameters eg for the read so as to use with WHERE clause
