Hi, R language has very high-level IO functions, its read.table can read a total .csv file and recogonize the types of each column. write.table can do the reverse.
R's MySQL interface has high-level functions, too, e.g. dbWriteTable can automatically build a MySQL table and write a table of R data into it. Is there any python packages do similar things? -York -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
