Hi,
I come from RDMS background and am experimenting with Pytables + HDF5 to
store a massive amount of records we keep. Im trying to understand how to
make the most out of pytables but am having some trouble understanding some
concepts.

Currently my data structure looks like this

Group_1
----nested_array_1
----nested_array_2
Group_2
----nested_array_1
----nested_array_2

That's it in a nutshell.

When i want to "query it" id do something
like hdf5file.getNode("/Group_1/nested_array_1").

So my questions are... is this the best way of doing this?
Am I on the right track?

If I use a Table instead... how do you store a large array? Would indexing
(table.col.id.createIndex()) speed things up?


Just a side note, so far, I've gotten faster results using Postgres +
psycopg2.

Anyway, thanks in advance!
