Re: [Zope] A Suitable RDBMS?

Hi,

I saw a posting today that MySQL was not recommended as an RDBMS for use with Zope.

Yeah that was probably me, not to slam MySQL, it's fast, it's free, and it's stable. It's lack of transactions however means that you have to be aware of and live with the possibilty of inconsistent states of data between MySQL and Zope. For read only operations, or low-write, or if an external application handles inserting your data and Zope only reads it, this is not really a problem. Also, it's only really manifest if you change the database and then change something in Zope and an error occours. If you can isolate your SQL calls as much as possible, then this shouldn't be a problem. -Michel
