Sounds to me that PostgreSQL is your man, then.
Oh, ok. Thanks! BTW: I just read: "Yahoo runs a multi-petabyte modified
PostgreSQL database that processes billions of events per day" - that's
truely amazing, I think...
I think maybe I'll experiment a bit with both mySql (small/medium sized
databases) and for critical/important stuff I should go with
PostgreSQL... Glad to hear this... Then I know what to look at...
If it were me I wouldn't use MySQL for anything at all. I'd use sqlite
for little non-critical local applications, and Postgres for the rest.
Ok, thank you. I just came across a blog that said pytables is also a
very good option?

Postgres is not difficult at all, provided you RTFM and follow the
instructions (the documentation is superb). And whichever you use, you
need to learn SQL anyway.
Good to hear... I'll dig more into it, thank you...
