The speed of RaimaDB. The simplicity of Python.
Prototype in Python without giving up embedded performance.
Feature Highlights
Embedded Performance
RaimaDB is built for speed. Whether running in-memory or on disk, the Python extension lets you tap into a database engine optimized for high-performance applications.
Pythonic by Design
No more low-level bindings. With object-oriented handles, automatic memory management, and clean exception handling, you can work naturally in Python while retaining the power of C/C++.
Less Boilerplate
Skip the manual glue code. Define your schema in SQL-like DDL, and the extension dynamically generates row and key classes at runtime — so you write less setup code and more application logic.
How It Works
A direct bridge from C API to Python.
The extension wraps RaimaDB’s core C API using Cython. Under the hood, TFS, database, and cursor handles become intuitive Python objects. You can open a database, start a transaction, and iterate rows in just a few lines — all while benefiting from RaimaDB’s proven embedded performance.
Developer Experience Highlight
Fast to Learn, Powerful in Practice.
The Python extension was built for engineers who need to move quickly. With transactions, cursors, and relationship navigation simplified into Python methods, you can start prototyping in minutes and still scale into complex, data-intensive applications.
Pull and Run with Docker.
We provide a ready-to-use container that includes the engine and examples, so you can try the Python extension immediately without complex setup.
Transactions Made Simple
Start updates or reads with one call, commit or rollback explicitly, and let the extension handle locks automatically.
Smart Cursors
Iterate rows naturally with Python for loops, or jump to keys with direct positioning.
Relationship Navigation
Easily move between parent, child, and sibling sets — foreign key navigation built right into the API.
Safe & Predictable
Routine operations return clear status codes; critical issues raise Python exceptions.
