A fast pure-Python database engine
Project description
buzhug is a fast, pure-Python database engine, using a syntax that Python
programmers should find very intuitive
The data is stored and accessed on disk (it is not an in-memory database) ; the
implementation has been designed to make all operations, and especially
selection, as fast as possible with an interpreted language
The database is implemented as a Python iterator, yielding objects whose
attributes are the fields defined when the base is created ; therefore, requests
can be expressed as list comprehensions or generator expressions, instead of SQL
queries :
for record in [ r for r in db if r.name == 'pierre' ]:
print record.name,record.age
instead of
cursor.execute("SELECT * IN db WHERE name = 'pierre'")
for r in cursor.fetchall():
print r[0],r[1]
