Hi Dorin,

I do follow Dabo for some time - but actually I think the part you are pointing to is questionalbe
*as part of the framework*. The Dabo dataset seems something like a cross between ADO.Net Datasets and
vfp cursors with some LINQ thrown in. As a target querying in memory data structures ***is*** definiately
a worthwhile one, but that should not "live" at the fwk level and will probably overtax them if they want
to play catch up with LINQ.

A large part of my wishes hinges on esay data transfer / import export. XML may be touted as todays solution,
but for data ranging in the million rows I prefer simple "file protocols" like the dbf-format.

As Python already has the SQLlite access classes integrated in 2.5 the interoperability part and
.dbf simplicity is probably not in the cards <g>.
