re: bloating of data.fs.... does it have something to do with the fact that the ZODB transactions are undoable.. until db packing?? TIA AM John Schinnerer wrote:
Howdy,
A while ago there was a thread with ZODB and 'external' RDB (MySQL, etc.) usage comparisons. Gist was that what would be most efficient overall depended on the nature of the data and how it was used/accessed/manipulated. In general I recall reading this:
If data changes frequently/constantly, RDB 'outside' zope was said to be better.
If data relatively static, ZODB was said to be better.
Reason given for difference was something to do with ZODB overhead/bloating of data.fs/something like that when data is frequently changed.
Any further clarifications welcomed... ;-)

Could the cheerful Chris direct the humble users to a tutorial showing how to use the ZODB for tasks normally solved with a RDMBS?
