The InterbaseStorage product is full-featured (undo, versioning). But I've gotten little response to releasing it, and I don't think anyone is using it, so bugs are sure to exist.

Hold on. I am confused, and I really need to understand this. Why do you need a 40 gb drive to store something that might get to 2GB? Do thing get really big during packing? (Thinking PostgreSQL index creation here, where it uses temp files for sorting, which has bit me more than once). Or do you just want to keep N old versions around?
I need to have n versions for various testing purposes: this is what got me in trouble in the first place- I was packing to try to make room. The pack makes a full backup of your data, so it needs about 1.75*n space where n is the size of your current Data.fs
Also, (besides "upgrade to alpha"), what is the workaround for Data.fs bigger than 2GB? Are there any plans to split it across multiple files? (Once again, the PostgreSQL people recently added this -- database files don't exceed 1GB, when the table gets that big it splits them across multiple files).
One solution is to have your Data.fs actually be split using mounted databases, something I consider a sub-optimal solution. Another option would be to store the entire zodb in a relational database, but as far as I know none of the products that attempt to provide that are full-featured.
The bottom line is that the OS should support the creation of very large files. Note that any of the BSD variants, or Solaris for x86, or SCO unix, all will let you have a ZODB larger than 2gb, assuming python was compiled properly.
I have spent literally about 40 hours trying to get Linux to support large files. While the code is integrated into kernels 2.3.27 and up, something still isn't quite right because I cannot get python to support large files although I can get c to create 17GB files using lseek().
Hope that helps, -- ethan mindlace fremen Zopatista Community Liason Abnegate I!

I don't think you announced this loudly enough ;-) Is interbase stable/OSS? Where can I get it from? Where is the InterBaseStorage product (and documentation ;-) available? cheers, Chris

Is interbase stable/OSS?
Yes, it has been developed by Borland/Inprise commercially for many years. They open-sourced it recently, going through a long beta period.

See the ZopeTreasures page Beehive has set up. A nice piece of work in tasteful day-glo colors :-) Jan
Hi, After downloading the InterBase 6.0 check the version of IBConsole because the 309 version is corrupt. When you try to connect to a database you'll get the following message: "error connecting to database" ... "DPB Constant (0) is unknown" Download the 308 version of OBConsole at: http://www.interbase.com/open/downloads/ib_download.html Diny At 17:57 29-7-00 +0200, jan@haul.de wrote:
