Use the ZODB as an ODBC data source
Now wouldn't that be a good idea? It'd be a GREAT integration technology, being able to access the ZODB from PHP or ASP... Is it feasible? tom -- tom smith | tom@othermedia.com http://www.othermedia.com/blog 3rd Floor, The Pavilion, Newhams Row, London, SE1 3UZ 0207 089 5959

We'll tell you when we try otu the code you've written ;-) cheers, Chris

Ahha, the classic open-source sanity pill/ thorn in my side.... What You Want Is What You Should Code Yourself ( WYWIWYSCY ) Ah well :-) -- tom smith | tom@othermedia.com http://www.othermedia.com/blog 3rd Floor, The Pavilion, Newhams Row, London, SE1 3UZ 0207 089 5959
Well, you'd need an SQL engine on top of it, of course (and SQL is a terrible language to implement parsers for), plus you would need to write a mapping tool to map python classes to SQL tables, etcetera. It's a non-trivial undertaking, and I've only heard of a single OODB product that ever had a SQL interface (I'm don't recall which one, but I think it was some Smalltalk database). It's probably easier to access the ZODB directly with a PHP module that talks to a ZEO server or some COM wizardry below ASP (I'm just blabbering here, I really wouldn't know what's necessary to extend ASP).

Using XML-RPC with PHP might be a decent plan, too. -- Joel BURTON | joel@joelburton.com | joelburton.com | aim: wjoelburton Independent Knowledge Management Consultant
