Hail Zope Folk, Well, I bit the bullet, couldn't get Zope to work reliably on my notebook using Win95, so I installed Linux at both the home and the office and got Zope working on it in both places, I'm a complete Linux Neophyte and while my understanding of what Zope does and how it works is increasing quite rapidly, I fear I have quite the climb ahead of me. I'm working on a project that has a table of about 100-120 items I thought about trying to make MySQL work, but decided it would slow down my initial release too much, so since TinyTable works with small sets of data, I thought I would use it. It appears to be working ok, but I have a lot of questions. It appears from my perusal of the Advanced tab that the Tiny Table can use a Python class as a data source, however, on checking through the source for Tiny Table, I can find no mention of how to make use for this feature. Can anyone point me in the right direction? Also, is it possible to update a Tiny Table under dtml control? Any assistance would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. =================================== Timothy J.

It can manage a fairly large amount of data, it's more a question of wether you'd want to. TinyTable is tiny more in features than any specific limitation on the amount of data. It's just that if you have a lot of data, you probably need to do fancier queries and data handling than TinyTable can handle :^)

Not as a source but a class can be used to wrap each returned row, which can be used for things like computed columns. This is essentially the same functionality as the Pluggable Brains in a Z SQL Method, which is why I didn't write anything about it.
for Tiny Table, I can find no mention of how to make use for this feature. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
See the documentation on Z SQL Methods for information on this feature.
Also, is it possible to update a Tiny Table under dtml control?
Not yet, but that is planned soon. If you have ideas about what form the data update methods should take, please let me know. One of the things that's held me back on this is that I don't know quite what's needed yet.
