I don't think this will be speed it up. I read some time ago that berkley storage is much slower than a the storgage in the filesystem of ZODB.
There are reasons other than performance to want to store ZODB in an SQL RDBMS: you might want to access data stored in ZODB objects from programs which have no practical interface to Zope. Or you might simply want all your textual data in one place where you can categorise and organise them. The applications I intend to develop with Zope have to work in an environment where most programming is done in VB (ugh) and data stored in MSSQL Server. If I wanted to use a Zwiki, I would want the text stored in the MSQL datastore. What is the current status of ZODB-in-SQL? -- Bruce
