database

[Sreekant Kodela]

Hi

Yes to your question re: using databases. You can download postgresql or mysql
etc dbm interfaces. Eg: PyGreSQL et al. Then

import pg
con=pg.connect('skodela')
res=con.query('select * from uselessdb')
con.close()
res=res.getresult()
for n in res:
    print n

just an example. I am using postgreSQL and Python.
