Which out of MySQL or PostGres would work better with Zope? Which has the more stable DA and what one should I use in each case?
I don't actually use PostgreSQL at this point, so I can't compare. ZMySQLDA 2.0.7 seems pretty stable, and it does support transactions if you use BDB or InnoDB tables. The InnoDB table support is still somewhat beta at this point, from what I can tell. However, lots of people seem to use ZMySQLDA without transactions and it works fine. It depends on your application. Some else made the inevitable car analogy. I would say MySQL is not so much a Ferrari but more like a dragster: Very fast, as long as you don't have to make any turns. I'm not sure what PostgreSQL would be; I hear version 7 is greatly improved over version 6.
(kinda OT for Zope, but which has the better full-text search capability?)
I believe MySQL-3.23 has a full-text search, but check the on-line documentation at http://www.mysql.com. -- Andy Dustman PGP: 0x930B8AB6 @ .net http://dustman.net/andy I'll give spammers one bite of the apple, but they'll have to guess which bite has the razor blade in it.
