You should *NOT* put fields into the metadata table if they could be larger. We had put the "description" into it and observed huge transactions (a few byte change to a news resulted in a 500 kB transaction) with correspondingly large modification times. Searches, too, were very slow because such huge blocks had to be loaded from the ZEO server. Read large volume data from the object directly. This is efficient, when you need it only for individual objects or the objects in a moderately sized batch. -- Dieter
