Well, I agree that the term 'database' is perhaps a bit scaring and I don't actually like this term to be applied to PyTables --I always like to say that PyTables is not a database competitor, but rather a companion. Just for completeness, here it is my own comparison among PyTables and h5py: http://www.pytables.org/moin/FAQ#HowdoesPyTablescomparewiththeh5pyproject.3F > I have the feeling this is turning into killing a fly with a cannon... Maybe. But if you are going to keep many data on-disk, it can be a nice advantage in the medium term.
