[Pytables-users] SQLite Virtual Tables

[Alvaro T. C. <al...@mi...>]

Hi,

The topic of introducing some kind of relational management in
PyTables comes up with certain frequency.

Would it be possible to combine the virtues of RDBMS and hdf5's speed
via a mechanism such as SQLite Virtual Tables?

http://www.sqlite.org/vtab.html

I wonder if the required x* functions could be written for PyTables,
or if it being in Python is an obstacle to this kind of interfacing
with SQLite.

Something like that would be a truly powerful solution in use cases
that don't require concurrency.

Cheers,

-á.
