Pulling arrays from database for plotting

Hi all, What's the best way to pull arrays from a database for plotting? Right now, this is what I do, but can it be done simpler / more efficiently? ipython -pylab import sqlite3 cx = sqlite3.connect('20080407.decimated.db3') a = array( [tuple(row) for row in cx.execute('SELECT cg_offset, delta_
