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.
So, why not LDAP?
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.
