There is other solution that uses RDBMS to what I'm trying to do, and I'm considering using PostGreSQL after. But before that, I want to using ZOPE and ZODB because I feel this could work. But in ZOPE vs RDBMS, why do you consider RDBMS first, why not ZOPE? can your give me the pros and cons in your perspective? ----- Original Message ---- From: Jonathan <dev101@magma.ca> To: zope@zope.org Sent: Tuesday, January 9, 2007 9:21:18 PM Subject: Re: [Zope] need advice on mass data processing ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrew Milton" <akm@theinternet.com.au> To: "Andreas Jung" <lists@zopyx.com> Cc: "Zope" <zope@zope.org> Sent: Tuesday, January 09, 2007 4:21 AM Subject: Re: [Zope] need advice on mass data processing

I concur.

One caveat though... if you want to be able to do a text search on the string portion of your data, then ZCatalog would be an appropriate tool.
