Hi all, Finally we're collecting data so that a project can get started... Seeing some data, I can get brainstorming on how to implement the portal. So, it's time to ask some general questions about how certain things should be handled. Brief introduction : 1000 'nds of information sheets need to be accessable through intranet. These sheets contain data in much of the same way. So we can define records and their fields. On top of these sheets several structured info rules are placed which help people to find the correct information sheet. (This is not a general search, because the search is fixed, ie. Problem1/Case1/SubCase2 will bring you to Sheet7) The view to these fixed search will also dependend on the person who is looking at the data. I'm thinking on following implementation ways. * Since the search is dependend on the person, I can best make use of the ZPTK? Is ZPTK already in stable release? Or is the ZPTK overkill? * The records will contain lots of data (several text-fields, other datafields, pictures, etc), so I'm thinking to make ZClasses for the data-sheets, instead of putting them in a SQL database. Is this a correct assumption? * The fixed-search are generally straight tables. A selection in one table will give another table etc, until only one possibility and thus results to the correct data-sheet. Since this is straight forward, I think to put these tables inside an SQL database. However is it possible to link SQL database to the ZODB in a good way (ie a selection in an SQL database is connected with an object in ZODB)? Is it perhaps also possible to create this sort of tables as ZClasses in the ZODB? All information is welcome! Regards, Tom.
