Hi everyone,

I subscribed a few minutes ago, because of this question:

Is database storage the only way in which Zope stores its files?

Zope does not store files, but objects. These objects are stored in a persistent object database, so yes, that would be the only way. There are products in development that allow you to 'mount' filebased data into the Zope object hierarchy.

It would explain Zope's sluggishness at times... Is there a way to change this to a "normal" method?

What is your setup? I wouldn't type Zope as sluggish, although individual setups could be. -- Martijn Pieters, Web Developer | Antraciet http://www.antraciet.nl | Tel: +31-35-7502100 Fax: +31-35-7502111 | mailto:mj@antraciet.nl http://www.antraciet.nl/~mj | PGP: http://wwwkeys.nl.pgp.net:11371/pks/lookup?op=get&search=0xA8A32149 ------------------------------------------
