Problem opening berkeley db in python
I have problems opening a berkeley db in python using bdtables. As bdtables is used by the library I am using to access the database, I need it to work.
The problem seems to be that the db environment I am trying to open (I got a copy of the database to open), is version 4.4 while libdb is version 4.6. I get the following error using bsddb.dbtables.bsdTableDB([dbname],[folder]):
(-30972, "DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatch -- Program version 4.6 doesn't match environment version 4.4")
However, bsddb.btopen([dbname]) works.
I have also tried installing db4.4-util, db4.5-util and db4.6-util. Trying to use db4.6_verify results in:
db4.6_verify: Program version 4.6 doesn't match environment version 4.4
db4.6_verify: DB_ENV->open: DB_VERSION_MISMATCH: Database environment version mismatchs
db4.4_verify results in the computer just hanging, and nothing happening.
Finally, if I run db4.4_recover on the database, that works. However, afterwards I get the following error 'No such file or directory' in python.

Answer 1
I think answers should go in the "answer" section rather than as an addendum to the question since that marks the question as having an answer on the various question-list pages. I'll do that for you but, if you also get around to doing it, leave a comment on my answer so I can delete it.
Quoting "answer in question":
Verifying everything in this question, I eventually solved the problem. The 'No such file or directory' are caused by some __db.XXX files missing. Using
bsddb.dbtables.bsdTableDB([dbname],[folder], create=1)
after db4.4_recover, these files got created and everything is now working.
Still, it was a bit of an obscure problem, and initially hard to figure out. But thanks to the question Examining Berkeley DB files from the CLI, I got the tools I needed. I'll just post it here if someone ends up with the same problem in the future and end up at stackoverflow.com

database - Store simple user settings in Python
I am programming a website in which users will have a number of settings, such as their choice of colour scheme, etc. I'm happy to store these as plain text files, and security is not an issue.
The way I currently see it is: there is a dictionary, where all the keys are users and the values are dictionaries with the users' settings in them.
For example, userdb["bob"]["colour_scheme"] would have the value "b...

python - How do I test a django database schema?
I want to write tests that can show whether or not the database is in sync with my models.py file. Actually I have already written them, only to find out that django creates a new database each time the tests are run based on the models.py file.
Is there any way I can make the models.py test use the existing database schema? The one that's in mysql/postgresql, and not the one that's in /myapp/models.py ?

python - Using 'old' database with django
I'm using a hand built (Postgres) database with Django. With "inspectdb" I was able to automatically create a model for it. The problem is that some tables have multiple primary keys (for many-to-many relations) and they are not accessible via Django.

python - How do I notify a process of an SQLite database change done in a different process?
Let's say I have two or more processes dealing with an SQLite database - a "player" process and many "editor" processes.
The "player" process reads the database and updates a view - in my case it would be a waveform being mixed to the soundcard depending on events stored in the database.
An "editor" process is any editor for that database: it changes the database constantly.
Now I want the player t...
database - python orm
This is a newbie theory question - I'm just starting to use Python and looking into Django and orm. Question: If I develop my objects and through additional development modify the base object structures, inheritance, etc. - would Django's ORM solution modify the database automatically OR do I need to perform a conversion (if the app is live)?
So, I start with a basic Phone app
