[ZODB-Dev] Re: [Zope-dev] ZODB, Catalog and actually using it

[Casey Duncan]

try:

  ob =3D r.getObject()
  ob.function()

or if that doesn't work:

  ob =3D catalog.getobject(r.data_record_id_)
  ob.function()

Bear in mind that getObject traverses to the object which is expensive bo=
th in=20
time and memory if the number of results is large.
