Steven F. Lott

Steven Lott has been programming since computers were large, expensive, and rare. Working for decades in high tech has given him exposure to a lot of ideas and techniques, some bad, but most are helpful to others. Since the 1990s, Steven has been engaged with Python, crafting an array of indispensable tools and applications. His profound expertise has led him to contribute significantly to Packt Publishing, penning notable titles like "Mastering Object-Oriented," "The Modern Python Cookbook," and "Functional Python Programming." A self-proclaimed technomad, Steven's unconventional lifestyle sees him residing on a boat, often anchored along the vibrant east coast of the US. He tries to live by the words “Don't come home until you have a story.”

5.4 Extras

Here are some ideas for the reader to add to this project.

5.4.1 Consider using another database

For example, MySQL or PostgreSQL are good choices. These can be downloaded and installed on a personal computer for non-commercial purposes. The administrative overheads are not overly burdensome.

It is essential to recognize these are rather large, complex tools. For readers new to SQL, there is a lot to learn when trying to install, configure, and use one of these databases.

See https://dev.mysql.com/doc/mysql-getting-started/en/ for some advice on installing and using MySQL.

See https://www.postgresql.org/docs/current/tutorial-start.html for advice on installing and using PostgreSQL.

In some cases, it makes sense to explore using a Docker container to run a database server on a virtual machine. See https://www.packtpub.com/product/docker-for-developers/9781789536058 for more about using Docker as a way to run complex services in isolated environments.
