Hi Dirk, ZODB is used for Zope objects (DTML, ZSQL, User Folders, etc.) and probably should not be removed... MySQL (and Postgres -;^>=) is really good for relational data, and should be used in that regard. I would say that a good practice is using ZODB for the Zope-specific stuff, and a RDBMS for pure data. - mitchy On Mon, 2001-10-08 at 22:32, Dirk Datzert wrote:

Hi All,

I'm a little confused about the use of ZODB or MySQL. Can the ZODB completely removed by an MySQL database or can the MySQL database only be used for dynamic form data and the ZODB ist for more static objects like DTML-Documents or ZClasses ?

Where is a good HOWTO for removing ZODB by MySQL ?
