My boss says that we need to mirror our system between here (Mobile, AL), the UK and Germany. I do not know why, but this needs to be done.
It sounds like an odd requirement. I think what you should clarify with your boss is: what is the motivation behind mirroring a database at three locations? Does your boss want a database in each place, or an *application* in each place that users interact with? I bet it's the latter, and the way your boss thinks this is done is to mirror a database in all your locations, where really there are many easier web based solutions for bringing an _application_ to remote locations and having only one database location. If what you really want is a distributed application, then using Zope with ZEO and possible some kind of relational backend would be ideal. The following two chapters will probably help you make that decision: http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/RelationalDatabases.dtml http://www.zope.org/Members/michel/ZB/ZEO.dtml -Michel
