hi,

I have an application that reads data from a GPS and save a file db.e32dbm (database), but I need to reduce the size of file every 20 seconds, there is some function in the module to do this e32dbm

thanks

Well, if you want to reduce file size you must delete items or even clean all your database. For that, you can use some standard dictionary methods, such as __delitem__ or clear. For more information, please check the Python Library Reference page 79


Hope it helps,

Rafael.

import os

size = os.path.getsize(u"C:\\mydatabase.db")

Also, deleting entries from a database does not automatically reclaim the free space. To compact a database, use:

mydb.reorganize()

Yes, yes ... didn't read the Library Reference, just checked the page

Thanks for correcting me, Jussi!
