Just to get more opinions... we have a service coming up where we'd like to use a Zope/Zpatters solution. Its a feedback tool, with the potential of up to 50,000 entries. These would be stored in a Specialist/Rack/DataSkin combo, stored in a standard zodb/filestorage system. Using a ZCatalog for listings and the Specialist.getItem() for individual record retrieval. Any thoughts on scalability issues. Thanks in advance for any insights. -- John Eikenberry [jae@zhar.net - http://zhar.net] ______________________________________________________________ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve neither and lose both." --B.
