PyDbLite is a small, fast, pure-Python, in-memory database management program
The database object supports the iterator protocol, so that requests can be expressed with list comprehensions or generator expressions instead of SQL. The equivalent of : cursor.execute("SELECT name FROM table WHERE age=30") rows = cursor.fetchall() is : rows = [ row["name"] for row in table if row["age"] == 30 ] Data is stored on disk in a single cPickled file. Records are indexed by a unique record identifier, that can be used for direct access. Since operations are processed in memory they are extremely fast, nearly as fast as SQLite in the few tests I made. An index can be created on a field to speed up selections Home Page: http://quentel.pierre.free.fr/PyDbLite/index.html Download URL: http://quentel.pierre.free.fr/PyDbLite/PyDbLite.py -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-announce-list Support the Python Software Foundation: http://www.python.org/psf/donations.html
