This is one of my favorite reads! I'm with you on Pivot Tables and "cold dead hands" comment.

]]> Comment on SQLite – the ultimate data-smithing tool! by code43 http://blog.gobansaor.com/2008/04/26/sqlite-the-ultimate-data-smithing-tool/#comment-5584 code43 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 20:46:34 +0000 http://gobansaor.wordpress.com/?p=363#comment-5584 hi Tom, thanks very much for your pointer to CouchDB -- very helpful for those interested in NoSQL. That makes it very easy to import/export with SQLite, so hence with any arbitrary Python object via y_serial http://yserial.sourceforge.net y_serial is designed to encourage shard SQLite databases and using Python code to unify them as needed. CouchDB is more monolithic -- so integration is an option when a project needs to scale big-time. hi Tom, thanks very much for your pointer to CouchDB — very helpful for those interested in NoSQL.

Your post was a good reminder to follow-up. Thanks for your post, Tom. If your son needs data persistence for his Python objects, please show him http://yserial.sourceforge.net -- it's a dead simple single module: just import, create an instance I, then I.insert, then later I.select (or I.fifo for a queue) -- all the complex protocols are hidden in the background. I really would like to encourage kids to learn Python. The interface should be very easy to use, yet general for almost all practical purposes. Good luck on your father/son projects!
