Any help on this topic is appreciated. Thanks,

Rajesh

Can you please guide me which is more suitable for Python?
@Rajesh Vaya : I would suggest that you use xapian written in c/c++ and has python binding. Please see my edited link for other tools like pylucene and whoosh. Xapian and woosh are quite capable for your job.
sqlite is built in to python. you could give that a shot and if for some reason it didn't meet your needs move your data to another database. one of the few criticisms of sqlite to be aware of is its support of concurrent access.
@Adam, @Pyfunc: Thanks a lot for the instant reply
@Rajesh: you're most welcome. In addition to accepting the answer, as you've done, you can also click the upward arrow to give pyfunc some points if you feel that his/her answer was useful :-)
