I'm a bit on the other side of the fence from most of the rest of the folks who have replied. My take on the matter is that unless you have a very compelling reason or need to use an external RDBMS you should keep everything in Zope.
I'm curious as to how to best find information when storing data in Zope. I come from a RDBMS background, so writing SQL statements to find the data that matches a user's request is a no-brainer for me. I would be interested in how one would store hundreds or thousands of records of data in Zope, and then find just the one or two that match the given criteria. Do you have to iterate through the entire branch of the ZODB, or is there another, simpler way that I'm missing? ___/ / __/ / ____/ Ed Leafe http://leafe.com/ http://opentech.leafe.com
