About Databases...

[andrea_gavana at tin.it]

Hello NG,

   I am still quite a newbie with Python (I intensely use wxPython, anyway).
I would like to know what are, in your opinions, the best/faster databases
that I could use in Python (and, of course, I should be able to "link" everything
with a wxPython GUI)? Specifically, I work on Reservoir Simulation, and
usually I have to store a discrete/huge amount of data (it depends on the
oil field). As you may have understood, I know almost NOTHING about databases
;-)
In general, my data will be numeric (floats, integers). Will a binary storage
(if it is possible) reduce the size of the DB? And what about speed in storing/retrieving
data?

Thank you a lot for every suggestion.

Andrea.
