CodernityDB — pure Python, NoSQL, fast database

Since these questions will inevitably come up:<p><pre><code> - You fsync yourself to ensure durability. I can't see at a glance what fsync settings are used for the speed tests. - It's not transactional, although single operations are atomic. - Indexes operate on a single-writer, multiple reader basis. - No traditional joins, although you can of course write a procedural function that joins for you.</code></pre>

A cursory glance through the code revealed a bug: <a href="https://bitbucket.org/codernity/codernitydb/issue/1/_rev-not-guaranteed-to-be-unique" rel="nofollow">https://bitbucket.org/codernity/codernitydb/issue/1/_rev-not...</a>

"CodernityDB pure python, NoSQL, fast database"<p>Is the fact that it is written in "pure Python" really the <i>most</i> important thing to reenforce after the name of the product itself?<p>Why would I use this over established products like Riak, Redis, MongoDB, etc?

It would be helpful to add "How is this different from other NoSQL databases" to the FAQ.

This seems like a speedy solution for inserts but I'm curious about reads<p>"Indexes tries to reuse as much space as possible, because metadata size is fixed, during every write operation, if index finds metadata marked as removed or so, it reuses it - writes new data into that place."<p>I'm curious how this is implemented.

Interesting, but I'd like to see how this compares to other NoSQL such as MongoDB.

I'd love to check this out this morning, but the page is unreadable using Safari on an iPhone. The table of contents stays floating above the body text, and takes up almost the whole screen.

What is the difference between DatabaseThreadSafe and DatabaseSuperThreadSafe?<p><a href="http://labs.codernity.com/codernitydb/design.html#how-it-s-build" rel="nofollow">http://labs.codernity.com/codernitydb/design.html#how-it-s-b...</a>

I've registered ##codernitydb in freenode and will idle in there, if anybody is interested in forming a community in irc

No Python 3 = no thanks

python ehh

In case, like me, you like SQL: <a href="http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/" rel="nofollow">http://gadfly.sourceforge.net/</a>

The only thing that turns me off to a product more than a poor website is poor English in the documentation. If English isn't your primary language, PLEASE get someone that speaks it fluently to either write your docs, translate your docs, or edit what you've written.
