I am not sure what you all are talking about, but in anticipation of a more adequate solution I am using a Gadfly database for a few years (sic!) now. The table was created with a Z SQL method and is populated with a second Z SQL method. Every now and then, when a restart of Zope is necessary, that does not affect the contents of my Gadfly table in any sense. I guess the "commit" is taken care of by the Z SQL method then? Furthermore, I live with the assumption that every time the table is accessed it is loaded into RAM in its entirety. Has that anything to do with the notion of persistence? cb

I am using Gadfly database for Employee details.Kindly let me know whether there is any maximum limit for the space available.

Probably related to the memory in the machine you are running Zope on.

Bear in mind that gadfly databases are not persistent and loose their contents when you restart Zope. It is very easy to make them persistent. When I remember correctly, it was only necessary to pass "commit" to Gadfly.
