Thanks, this is great info. I was planning on developing with ZPatterns but haven't downloaded or began yet. I wasn't aware that a Rack could do that. Cool. I don't mind going to a RDBMS if necessary, but if possible I like sticking with Zope/ZODB. Does anyone have an eta on BTrees for ZODB? Jimmie Houchin Kevin Dangoor wrote:

My databases will have millions of objects in what would/will be single table/folders. From what I understand ZODB doesn't currently do big folders well.
So I guess my question is, should I continue with the SQL and the RDBMS or is there a solution that I don't know about or understand with ZODB?
As Shane mentioned, there's a BTreeFolder in the works. Additionally, you can use the "Rack" from ZPatterns. If you design for a Rack, you can switch to an RDBMS later on without having to change your application code. But, you might not need to switch to an RDBMS, because the current Rack implementation can store objects using BTrees within the ZODB. So, theoretically, you can have great big piles of objects within a single Rack.
Unfortunately, ZPatterns is still very new and there is not a lot of documentation. But, when you start playing with it, things become a bit clearer.
