Matt, Just out of curiosity, what kind of application required that much data? I am just starting on a web application that will have to handle a lot of operational data for power plant equipment, and I was hoping I could keep much of it in a ZODB. I saw a statement in the _Zope Web Application Construction Kit_ book that said "...the ZODB is not suitable for storing large amounts of data." I guess the meaning of "large amounts of data" depends on who you're talking to. :) Thanks, Alan Matt Burleigh wrote:
I have seen 17GB data.fs's with no appreciate able degradation. It is wise to keep it smaller than this. Make sure Python and the OS is compatible with going over the 2GB limit. Python requires compile-time configuration parameters to allow it to handle files over 2GB.
