[Numpy-discussion] Pickle, pytables, and sqlite - loading and saving recarray's

[Christopher Barker]

Another small note:

I'm pretty sure sqlite stores everything as strings. This just plain has 
to be slower than storing the raw binary representation (and may mean 
for slight differences in fp values on the round-trip). HDF is designed 
for this sort of thing, sqlite is not.
