I want to call parts of the "pages" Zope serves from a MySQL database. My programmer tells me there would be a performance hit.
We do that regularly (using both MySQL and Postgres). In our architecture (Zope on fast modern Linux frontend, database on slow solaris backend servers), a standard database request takes between 2 and 10 ms. Thus, database access is not without costs but it does not cost much. You can use (the various forms of) caching to reduce these costs further... Dieter
