I don't think you'll ever manage referential integrity with ZODB. It's a Persistent Object Store, not a relational database. I really don't know why people have a problem with this concept, and feel the need to enforce some other meaningless (in this context) construct onto it. (Actually I do know why, but, I feel the need to postulate). Perhaps we should rename it from ZODB to ZOS, to stop people from drawing that inference. People might think it was an operating system I suppose. -- Totally Holistic Enterprises Internet| | Andrew Milton The Internet (Aust) Pty Ltd | | ACN: 082 081 472 ABN: 83 082 081 472 | M:+61 416 022 411 | Carpe Daemon PO Box 837 Indooroopilly QLD 4068 |akm@theinternet.com.au|
