[egenix-users] BeeDict memory usage

[Daniel Naber]

Hi,

I'm using BeeDict (egenix-mx-base-2.1.0b2) with the following code:

self.table = BeeDict(self.db_name, min_recordsize=0, readonly=0, \
	recover=0, autocommit=1, validate=0)

self.table is then used to save quite some (nested) data, i.e. lists and 
dictionaries. This works well, but there's one problem: too much memory is 
used when adding data. I had hoped that "on-disk" means something like: 
save the data to disk if there's a flush() or commit() call so that the 
data doesn't take up memory. I tried that, but it doesn't help (actually 
commit()ing after adding a certain amount of data will leave the index 
incomplete in the end).

Does anybody have an idea how to save memory when adding data?

Regards
 Daniel
