1- assuming I have 2 Zope servers, one for development and one for deployment: is it possible to port all stuff made in one folder with installation 1 in installation 2 ? ...I would imagine a utility to 'pack' all objects and unpack them in another installation. You already have been told about "import/export".
Besides, "ZSyncher" may help you, too.
2- as to database connectivity (I am used to PHP, where with PHPlib I can write PHP which is portable to setups using different servers).
Does the same apply to Zope ? I.e. if I am using ODBC/Access in my 'prototype', and Oracle in my full-blown application, is it sufficient to have a connection ID with the same name to insure portability ? It is no problem from Zope's point of view!
However, there are SQL differences between the various database vendors. Dieter
