I have just started to play around with the bsddb3 module interfacing the Berkeley Database.
Beside the intended database file databaseFile.bdb I see in same directory also the __db.001 __db.002 __db.003 files where __db.003 is ten times as larger as the databaseFile.bdb and __db.001 has the same size as the databaseFile.bdb . What are these files for and what could be the reason they occur? If I delete them, the access to the database in databaseFile.bdb still works as expected. Any hints toward enlightenment? Is there any _good_ documentation of the bsddb3 module around beside this provided with this module itself, where it is not necessary e.g. to guess, that C integer value of zero (0) is represented in Python by the value None returned in case of success by db.open() ?
