Hi, I am new to Zope. I started evaluating it a bit to understand its use in our environment. 2 questions concerning the 'portability' of Zope applications: 1- assuming I have 2 Zope servers, one for development and one for deployment: is it possible to port all stuff made in one folder with installation 1 in installation 2 ? ...I would imagine a utility to 'pack' all objects and unpack them in another installation. 2- as to database connectivity (I am used to PHP, where with PHPlib I can write PHP which is portable to setups using different servers). Does the same apply to Zope ? I.e. if I am using ODBC/Access in my 'prototype', and Oracle in my full-blown application, is it sufficient to have a connection ID with the same name to insure portability ? TIA for any feedback. -- ========================================= Andrea Giacomelli Centre for Advanced Studies, Research and Development in Sardinia Environment Group http://www.crs4.it/~andreag =========================================
