[CentralOH] Read-Only Database

[Mark Erbaugh]

Hello all,

Is there a Python library for a read-only database?  I could use one of the standard databases, but in this particular case, the database will be built once and read-only many times. I was thinking that a read-only database could be optimized for fast access / small size. For this particular application, there will be around 800k records and a given record need only be accessed via a unique key.  Once the database is built (which need not be done quickly and need not be part of the end-use app), the app doesn't need to do anything but look up data by its key (preferably quickly).

Thanks,
Mark
