I wanted to make a list index work as the index of the data in the database. something like
database: idx item_description item_value being imported to my program as: x[idx][0]= item_description x[idx][1]= item_value the problem is that there will be some hundred items and possible the idx wil vary from 1 to 600 (it's not linear as items got deleted the idx should not be reused) will it still be an easy solution or just a waste of resources (having a 600-sized list for 100 elements) I'm very new to python and apreciate any hints on that.
