Hello All, I'm still new to Zope, so please excuse any stupid questions. I would like to split out some of the data contained within my ZODB (Zope's 'data.fs') into separate instances of the same. I THINK this may be an option for my application, where I have diverse users and requirements. Most importantly, a number of groups of users will be working off-site with a local Zope setup. While off-site, they do not have access to the corporate network. I need to integrate their local/updated 'data.fs' into the main Zope instance when they log in to the corporate network without resorting to exporting objects from within each group's instance of Zope to a '.zexp' and then re-importing into the main instance. I hope the above makes sense. My questions - a) Is this a sound approach, or is there a better way to do this? b) Has anyone done this before? If so, I'll be grateful for any advice. c) I feel this approach will fail with ZEO, probably due to the inherent complexity of maintaining multiple datafiles. Any comments or suggestions? Thanks in advance. Regards, Samir.
