Python Database Server?

sandorlev 0 238 Views

Hello, I've been working on this self-made database. What do you think about it? What features should I create for it? I'd also like to get help in a select method, because I don't have the foggiest idea how it could be done. And what about making it a database server? What does a database server exactly do?

The usage is like this:

>>> db = Database('databases/family')
>>> table = db.get_table('general')
>>> for row in table:
print row


[0, 'Levente', 'Sandor', 15, 'Levi']
[1, 'Tamas', 'Karvalics', 15, 'Tomi']
[2, 'Matyas', 'Sandor', 17, 'Matyi']
[3, 'Peter', 'Karvalics', 17, 'Peti']
[4, 'Marta', 'Csonka', 43, 'Marti']
[5, 'Attila', 'Sandor', 45, 'Ati']

And then you can interact table with its methods.
