[BlueBream] ZODB v SQL

[John]

I'm no expert either, but folks do indeed use relational databases with 
zope and bluebream.  However, zodb is the easiest way to start, is the 
most convenient database to use with zope, can be used alongside an 
rdbms, and works great for most uses on most sites.  Moving to thinner 
ice.  Zodb is not meant for heavy concurrent writes, but is more than 
adequate for configuration data.  There are zope packages (such as 
z3c.sqlalchemy) that attempt to ease the transition from zodb to an 
rdbms by making rdbms's look more like zodb.  I don't know the status or 
difficulty of porting those packages to bluebream. 

In short, if you're gathering info on various web frameworks, certainly 
don't regard zope/bluebream as being unable to talk to rdbms's--it can.  
Good luck!
