...

Its possible to create a data base directly with the ZODB?

Yes. Your subject line implies that the difference between the ZODB and ZODBC is unclear (likely our poor choice of acronyms in hindsight...) ZODB is an OO database engine underlying most (all?) of Zope. If you like the UML then you'll love the ZODB UML model:

http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Developer/Models/ZODB

ZODBC, on the other hand, is shorthand for ZODBCDA which is a database adapter used by Zope to connect to arbitrary ODBC data sources (e.g., Access, Oracle et al).

If you're interested in _ZODB_ then (in addition to the UML model and docs) you should check out Michel Pelletier How-To on using the ZODB from Python:

If you're interested in ZODBC then Jeffrey Shell's RDBMS How-Tos would be a good place to start!

Hope this helps, --Rob
