I use MySQL as a backend database because my application needs SQL and the infrastructure that comes with it. It's stable and clean. The site also uses the ZODB to store some kinds of information which is independent of the presentation. IMHO, the best approach is to use tools which match the needs of the application.

I'm coming to Zope from PHP where my database is MySQL. However I am wanting to move to Zope and am trying to learn the correct way of working in this platform. I know that I can connect to MySQL from Zope but from what I read it appears that the use of this feature is recommended only if one is wanting to use an existing database. Since I am starting a new Zope application, and will be creating new data files, is it better to use MySQL or ZODB to handle form data?
I would really appreciate hearing from experienced Zope users on this matter.
