ODMG Compliance On June 14, 1994, the ODMG Board ( http://www.odmg.org/ ) approved a list of object databases as ODMG Compliant and ODMG Certified. ZODB doesn't appear on that list. Ditto for CORBA integration. Anyone knows how standards compliant we are and will be? I can't find any info on that in the FAQ. Kenneth Young

Note that FourThought has some object database work that hasn't been released yet. Quoting from http://www.fourthought.com/4Suite/index.html : 4ODS is a Python front-end for the ODMG 2.0 object database standard. Different drivers can be plugged in to 4ODS to provide back-end storage, even in other models such as relational. 4ODS is particularly well-suited to providing structured persistence for XML documents and document fragments. 4ODS will soon be available to the public. This might be a Python interface to ODMG 2.0, not a complete Python binding for it, but you'd have to ask the FourThought guys to be sure. -- A.M.

We aren't ODMG compliant at this point. It would be a bit of work to be compliant. The hardest part would be OQL support. I'd love to see ZODB be ODMG compliant, but we (DC) don't have a significant need for it at this time. If anyone has a strong need, I'd be happy to help out with advice. Of course, our priorities can change. ;) Jim P.S.

Yes, the replies to my mail are very helpful - I am overwhelmed. It's acceptable to me that ZODB not be ODMG-compliant, it's nice to confirm that it's not, so that I can devise workarounds fully confident I'm not duplicating work. I _do_ suggest that this information appears in the top-level FAQ, and the ZODB documentation. If/when I have more helpful info along this line, I will share.
