I presume that a SQL engine would be the fastest solution and all the
|
|
programming, in my opinion, should be done in Python using a database
|
|
connector. It depends on the uses you will give to this DB, but MySQL should
|
|
be the better choice. If you need data consistency (via FK) and a
|
|
transactional database, you should be looking perhaps to a commercial SQL
|
|
engine like Oracle or MS-SQL ... But if it's for querys mainly, MySQL if
|
|
damn fast ... :-)
|
|
|
|
Hope this helps... and specially I hope this helps a little bit for the
|
|
people of Kosovo...
