Yes, but the SELECT/INSERT/UPDATE interface lets the index maintenence be
done behind the scenes. In this sense, I think, Catalog exists --
otherwise you'll have to keep things up-to-date yourself. So I see
StandaloneZODB as really lacking until we have some (even _very_ basic)
indexing features. Leaving this to the app programmer is no fun!

Take care,
