I am looking to build a system to hold 100s of sites, each of which holds several catalogues (as in on-line shopping, not ZCatalogs). How large can ZODB realistically go? At which point would it make more sense to hold data in a n RDBMS and use sql from Zope instead? Search for Toby's message (--> mailing list archives) about ZODB memory characteristics.
Also, a related note is: If I have 100 online shops running from my Zope isntance, and one if them is a thousand times bigger than the others, how will the ZCataloging and general traffic on the big site affect the others? Try it out!
In principle, access should be logarithmic (in the number of entries in the index). Dieter
