Python choice of database

[Philippe C. Martin]

I guess I use databases to store .... data ;-) and I do not wish to worry
about the type of data I'm storing. That's why I love to pickle.

I understand that during an optimization phase, decisions might be taken to
handle data otherwise.

Regards,

Philippe
