Comma Deliminated Format Databases and Zope
Going through the documentation for Zope, I've come across a multitude of ways to get SQL Databases into Zope. What I haven't found, is a simple way to import a comma deliminated format database into Zope. Does such a critter not exist, or did I overlook it, in going through the documentation for SQL? [ My theory is that ZCatalog ought to replace comma deliminated files, that are found so often in perl cgi scripts, and that the migration path does not go straight to a SQL database. ] Or is the preferred method to translate comma delimited format database files to something that GadFly can use? [ If that is the case, do I need to roll my own script to do that conversion automatically, or is such a script available somewhere? ] xan jonathon

Hi Jonathon - You should take a look at TinyTables (from the contibuted section of the Zope site). It will be a simple matter to add an external method to 'parse' a comma deliminated format and add it in a Zope Folder as a TinyTable. Pavlos
