I have a berkely db and Im using the bsddb module to access it. The Db is quite huge (anywhere from 2-30GB). I want to iterate over the keys serially. I tried using something basic like
for key in db.keys() but this takes lot of time. I guess Python is trying to get the list of all keys first and probbaly keep it in memory. Is there a way to avoid this, since I just want to access keys serially. I mean is there a way I can tell Python to not load all keys, but try to access it as the loop progresses(like in a linked list). I could find any accessor methonds on bsddb to this with my initial search. I am guessing BTree might be a good choice here, but since while the Dbs were written it was opened using hashopen, Im not able to use btopen when I want to iterate over the db. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
