Hello Gary,
Is your primary goal to write code or is it to have available to you a
document archiving solution?
If the latter, you will probably save time by using an existing system
(e.g., Google Docs).
If the former, I have a few thoughts.
One, you should probably be using Python 3 rather than 2, I think the
command is "sudo aptitude install python3".
Two, I think of stored procedures as being good at manipulating data
really fast.  With a document management system most activity will be
retrieval rather than manipulation.
