I just joined the mailing list. I'm trying to export data stored in zope as sql. Is this possible and what's the best way to do this. Also is there a way to restrict which data is exported, i'm interested in exporting the data store through a particular zope product only.

It sounds like you just need a very simple external method to loop thru the ZODB objects you want to export and then, for each object, write a formatted record to a file (which you can then LOAD DATA INFILE or equivalent into your sql db). You can include logic in the external method to determine which objects are selected from the ZODB and written to file. hth Jonathan
