just wondering... (really a newbie)

is the zodb same as gadfly???

Absolutely not. Gadfly is a toy. ZODB is a very powerful object database used on numerous large production sites around the world, and not only in a Zope context ;-)

because gadfly loads the whole database into the memory and that makes it not really a good database espcially for big databases...

Indeed. ZODB doesn't do that. cheers, Chris
