[Tutor] numerical simulation + SQLite

[Eike Welk]

Hello Faisal!

Just in case you don't know it, maybe Pytables is the right solution 
for you. It is a disk storage library specially for scientific 
applications:
http://www.pytables.org/moin

The makers claim, that it is fast. It has on the fly data compression 
which allegedly makes the library faster because fewer data has to be 
written to disk. 

The lead developer gave a talk about the topic with interesting 
slides. He proposes to compress not only data that is stored on 
disks, but also data resides in RAM; because even RAM is very slow 
compared to the speed of modern processors. 
(The slides are near the top of the page.)
