- Zope uses its own DB instead of a filesystem. But then, nobody complains when data are saved in other DBMS's, so why do they complain about ZODB?
This is actually a pro, not a con. :-) The fact that that DB is also file based, and doesn't require you to set up an SQL-database is another pro.
Eek! This makes it sound as though the use of the ZODB and an external RDBMS are mutually exclusive - *NOT SO*!!! in non-niche situations, if you need an RDBMS, you need an RDBMS - it's a case of using the right tool for the job. - The fact that the ZODB dB is integrated into the application server and doesn't require you to set up an SQL-database for data management tasks which do not call for one is a "pro". - The fact tha Zope will "play nice" with an external RDBMS for data management tasks which do call for one is /another/ "pro".
