Hi! I'm planning to use Zope on a site that includes news article like content. Using PHP or whatever I would set up some relational table structures for the content and create display and edit scripts that query the database. I've tried this with Zope but was wondering if there is a more Zopeish way to do it. (Like creating a subclass of dtmldocument and adding my own display and edit methods). If so can you point me to some docs about this? I'm also wondering which wll be the best databse to use with Zope. I'm developing mostly on Windows but will deploy on Unix. I'd love to use Oracle, but as this is a 0-budget project, I can't afford the license fee. MySQL might be fine, but afak the Windows version is not freely available. Does anyone know about other crossplatform DBs that work well with Zope? Thanks, Markus

You can learn how to write Products - it is exactly that. Few days ago I started with Boring Product (somewhere on Zope site) and created my own objects. Source code, working demo and Read-Only ADmin login: http://sun.med.ru/~phd/Software/Zope/ http://sun.med.ru/Zope/Random

MySQL for UNIX is (almost) free. Postgres is completely free. Postgres is better 'cause it has transactions and is almost full SQL92 compliant. MySQL is faster (for most simple queries), and has better granulated security (in Postgres, if user can connect to DB, he can create as many tables as he wants).
