J. Atwood:
I am using PostGreSQL 6.5.3 which I am really enjoying. That's is what I was going to use, until I decided to put everything in the ZODB.
It is very stable, pretty fast, has tons of features and above all, open source (7.0 which is to come out in a month has a slew more). Most of the data for the site is coming from the database (ZODB = 1.1 MB) and by playing with Zope's SQL Method caching I am really able to customize each and every SQL statement as to how much to cache and for how long.
I may plug you for tip when the time comes. ;0
This really improves performance as cached material is said to be about 10x faster (not my tests).
I have done some testing and on my server (RH 6.1, 300Mhz, 256 RAM) I think I can handle roughly 1,000,000 a day so should be ok for a bit. :)
Run those TV commercials and bring 'em on!
I have read everything I can get my hands on about ZEO but am still unclear about a few details like setup, management and the nuts and bolts of >having one ZODB over many servers.
I don't know either. I've jsut read their pdf. Have you read that?
