It should not be a problem to store at least ten-thousands of documents inside the ZODB. At least some popular websites running on Zope are using a ZODB based solution for all their content. -aj ----- Original Message ----- From: cijiisen To: zope@zope.org Sent: Saturday, August 24, 2002 12:53 Subject: [Zope] storing in ZODB vs filesystem Hi, I need to have a document management system. That would involve a lot of document upload. Can some one advice me on whether its wise to store all the documents as zope does by default into the database or store the file on to some place in the file system. Can someone tell me how to do this easily ! If it profitable to do that ? I have a feeling that storing all the documents in the database might slow down the database! thanks, Ciji Isen
