Thanks Dieter, I think that Firebird/Interbase will meet my needs very nicely. I have spent the last day playing with it and am a bit confused on how to get the Kinterbasdb Python Extension Package and the ZFireBirdDA Product working. http://kinterbasdb.sourceforge.net/ http://www.zope.org/Members/philh/ZFireBirdDA I have programmed python for about 3 months and this is the first I have had to use an Extension Package. The kinterbasdb Extension has source and binary distributions. The binary dist looks in the registry for a python installation so it wont work for zope (Im guessing). What is the best way to install the source dist with Zope? When I attempt to complile the source dist using zopes python interpreter (Zope\bin) I get this error: COMPILER CONFIGURATION ERROR: Unable to create a Borland-compatible Python library file using the coff2omf utility. Tried command: coff2omf C:\PROGRA~1\TelOnyx\bin\libs\python21.lib C:\PROGRA~1\TelOnyx\bin\l ibs\python21_bcpp.lib Thanks Again, Derek Basch --- Dieter Maurer <dieter@handshake.de> wrote:

How about for large amounts (500,000?) of small records that never change after they are created?
I would go for a relational database:
better search support, probably faster searches, no need for specialized products (e.g. BTreeFolder)
