Hello all. Newbie question. Sorry.
As part of my process to learn python I am working on two personal applications. Both will do it fine with a simple structure of data stored in files. I now there are lot of databases around I can use but I would like to know yoor advice on what other options you would consider for the job (it is training so no pressure on performance). One application will run as a desktop one,under Windows, Linux, Macintosh, being able to update data, not much, not complex, not many records. The second application, running behind web pages, will do the same, I mean, process simple data, updating showing data. not much info, not complex. As an excersice it is more than enough I guess and will let me learn what I need for now. Talking with a friend about what he will do (he use C only) he suggest to take a look on dBase format file since it is a stable format, fast and the index structure will be fine or maybe go with BD (Berkley) database file format (I hope I understood this one correctly) . Plain files it is not an option since I would like to have option to do rapid searches.
What would do you suggest to take a look? If possible available under the 3 plattforms.
Thanks in advance for your comments. Jorge Biquez _______________________________________________ Tutor maillist - Tutor@python.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/tutor
