Looking for some enlightenment: <set learning on> I understand that Ztables was formerly Tabula an object database. If one were starting from scratch without legacy data would it make sense to use an object database instead of a relational database? If so, is ZTables/Tabula a full, robust database system that can scale up and exceed the features of Oracle or SQLxxx databases? What are the pros/cons of Object vs Relational databases. Currently it appears that Ztables/Tabula is priced at $1,500 but eventually may become open source.

*"Make site searchable" *"one 'document' in many 'folders'" It seems like Ztables would be an Ideal solution to these problems. ie, rather than the kludge of multiple copies of the SAME document, ONE copy in the database. Also, searching by key or full text would be possible. But for further enlightenment, can anyone point to good examples on the web of the use of ZTables/Tabula? woops, your request to <set learning off> has been denied! :-) -bobo connor
