That is an interesting option also. I had actually looked for ready made databases and didn't come across this one. Although, I don't understand how they can fit all that info into 900Mb. I like this option, but I guess if I decide to keep using this database then I need to keep up my subcription. The thing I liked about downloading everything from Yahoo was that I didn't have to pay anyone for the data. Does anyone know the best way to compress this data? or do any of these databases handle compression automatically? 5gig will be hard for any computer to deal with, even in a database. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
