You may want to check out: http://www.zope.org/Members/pje/ZPatterns and http://www.zope.org/Members/sspickle/DumbZPatternsExample One of the neat features of ZPatterns is that you don't need to decide. I usually *start* with ZODB, then move to a relational solution only if necessary. -steve On Tuesday, May 22, 2001, at 09:27 PM, Sean Kelley wrote:
Hi- general question...
How do you know when to go with a relational database such as Mysql and when zope is ok for data storage? I am thinking of doing a product/zclass that will store contact information and related information (and either photos, or path to file system photo location) and want to be comfortable on choosing Zope for the full implementation. The traffic would not be huge...less than a few thousand visitors a day if i was lucky.
Also, if Zope becomes a problem down the road...how easy is it's data to export to something which can be imported into something like mysql? -- Sean Kelley
