Hello,

I want to store uploaded files in a RDBMS (Sybase 11) instead in ZODB3. How can I accomplish that ? I already read Image.py but didn't get the clue...

Some thoughts, since I've wondered about similar things myself, mostly to keep the size of the ODB manageable under heavy use. So, what you would need to do is create a "proxy" object in the ODB that has information pertaining to the file. It would know how to get the information out of the RDBMS (or even file system?) and pass it back. It should probably also cache things reasonably. It would also need to support BLOBS probably in the database (I only know DB2 and Oracle for this, and I'd rather not admit to the latter :-). Honestly, it shouldn't be that hard, and I think such "proxy" objects could be useful for any site that has large files as well (for example, I've talked with one customer who needs to provide access to a couple hundred gig of data, not something you'd want in the ZODB honestly.).
