I would like to find a no-SQL solution because I hate SQL, it is annoying. Worse, I have to program in one language for the bulk of my program, and then I have to embed code in a second language to talk to the database. There might be technical reasons to cite for why some no-SQL program is better than some SQL program, but in my case it is pure prejudice. A bit like my preferring Python over Perl: there might be technical arguments for why Python is better than Perl, but one I like Python better. I am even getting kind of good at it. > Using a free database like PostgreSQL will EASILY handle what you want to do. Including finding the first few items in order really cheaply--without finding all possible items first? Okay, I'll look at PostgreSQL. Maybe there is a less painful way to use it from Python than I found last I looked. I have always had a soft spot for PostgreSQL over MySQL, and now that Oracle has taken over MySQL, even more so.
