The first alpha release of AdaptableStorage is ready. AdaptableStorage lets you store ZODB objects in your own database and in your format, without using special content classes. You can use a filesystem directory, a relational database, or whatever kind of database you might have as a ZODB. This is very different from all previous solutions. LocalFS, ExtFile, CMF directory views, and other similar products require you to use special content classes that store themselves outside the ZODB. OracleStorage and CVSFile store all objects as pickles. Other solutions have similar issues. AdaptableStorage, however, reuses as much of ZODB as possible to achieve orthogonal persistence to arbitrary databases and formats. At this time, AdaptableStorage comes with two default mappings, a Zope2-filesystem mapping and a Zope2-PostgreSQL mapping. These mappings demonstrate AdaptableStorage and provide a pattern for creating your own mappings. Version 0.4 is an alpha release. There is enough documentation to get started. You will need to download version 1.0.2 of the DBTab product, also released today. http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/AdaptableStorage http://hathaway.freezope.org/Software/DBTab Comments and questions are welcome.
