Howdy folks. As mentioned previously, a gem is ready to appear in CVS: mountable databases.
Does this mean the monolithic data.fs problem, and hence the 2GB filesize problem on some systems, has just vanished?
Based on what I read, this would quite possibly fix the 2GB filesize problem that some OSes have.
How does this integrate with the ZPatterns stuff?
Interesting question. I would think mountable databases would integrate nicely with ZPatterns. As it is, the whole Rack model allows you to simply create a new Rack to get data from different databases. If you make a Rack that is actually a mount point for another ZODB (maybe a BerkeleyStorage), you can have that Rack of info stored in a different file with very little fuss. Zope just gets more and more flexible every day! Kevin
