I have tried to read whatever I could in last two days. But there is not much information available on net about zodb. I have used and explored zope management interface. I also read the zope developers guide. There is not much information about how zope stores objects in zodb and how to access those objects.
It's generally used as a black box. Zope developers typically don't interact directly with the ZODB the way that a java developer might with an RDBMs. The low-level storage details are mostly automatic, and therefore irrelevant to your needs.
Other documentation provide information about storing data and then retrieving that data. No documentation is available about how to retrieve already stored data about which I don't have any prior knowledge.
Explore some instances in the ZMI and if that's not enough, Use The Source.
As in java, ide's use introspection to determine what are fields and methods of a object (bean). Other DBMS also allow us to determine how many tables etc. are there in database. But how do I do that with zope and zodb?
by exploring in the ZMI, by using the source if you want to know how an object REALLY works, and / or by using the interactive debugger to explore things. http://www.zope.org/Members/klm/ZopeDebugging/ConversingWithZope -- Paul Winkler http://www.slinkp.com Look!
