has some pretty impressive technology behind the scenes.
I haven't done more than play around with it, so I can't personally vouch for it in a production environment, but I sure want to at some point.
(They also support Python out of the box)
Bob, could you say a little more about what you like about MonetDB and what kind of support they have for Python? If you could compare it to any other DBMS or ODBMS that would be great too. I'm just curious to hear more from someone who has actually tried it. Thanks.
I don't feel that I've used it enough yet to be able to give a really intelligent comparison at this time, but they do have a lot of information on their site, and I suggest reading that for now.
