While that would work for the simple object case, I find the prospect of storing a bunch of BLOBs (for the image data of the Photos) in an RDBMS to be *most* un-appetizing. Storing them on the server's file-system seems in-elegant as well.
Okey dokey, just a suggestion. I have heard people talk about large ZOBD's but once I go over a 10,000 object mark I just find a RDBMS easier myself. Go for it good luck!
Thanks! I appreciate different points of view on this problem, even if you have different 'comfort zones'.
Does anyone know of any hidden 'gotchas' when dealing with this many objects, regardless of the hit-load on the system?
Mostly starting and stopping Zope, [snip]
Are you saying that Zope's startup and shutdown time is affected by the size of the ZODB? Thanks, Michael Bernstein.
