Hi, I'm looking for a fast way of accessing some simple (structured) data.
The data is like this: Approx 6 - 10 GB simple XML files with the only elements I really care about are the <title> and <article> ones. So what I'm hoping to do is put this data in a format so that I can access it as fast as possible for a given request (http request, Python web server) that specifies just the title, and I return the article content. Is there some good format that is optimized for search for just 1 attribute (title) and then returning the corresponding article? I've thought about putting this data in a SQLite database because from what I know SQLite has very fast reads (no network latency, etc) but not as fast writes, which is fine because I probably wont be doing much writing (I wont ever care about the speed of any writes). So is a database the way to go, or is there some other, more specialized format that would be better? Thanks, Alex -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
