I had never heard of Zope till last week. I have successfully installed the program and am able to bring up the management doc
I posted a question on another newsgroup stating I needed to produce a database for our company equipment that could be edited via a web browser. The answer came back to use Zope. Before I spend a bunch of time on this I would like to know if this is the right tool , and how in-depth of an understanding I will need to produce such a thing. From looking around it seems there possibly may be something out there that someone may have written already.

Hi Raymond To get an impression of how it is like to work with Zope and especially for examples of working with a database (there is a chapter devoted to this subject with examples) buy yourself the Zope Book or read it online or download a pdf version from: http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ For experimenting with databases you even have the possibilty to play with *Gadfly*, a relational test-database which comes with your Zope distribution. Gadfly does only exist in memory, nothing is written on disk and so it is a quick and good learning tool. Database adapters are available then for all major databases like PostgreSQL, MySQL, Oracle, Sybase, ODBC and so on. Greetings --- Flynt
