i dont think you can compare ZODB to gemstone's products. i've looked
at both over the last few months with a decent level of depth and the
gemstone from a programmer's standpoint is infintately easier to use.
no special classes, no nothing really. just put anything persistent in
a global dictionary and blam its done.
pull it back out and there it is again, object pointers fully intact.
store in 2 different directories, modify in one, blam! modified in the
other.
ZODB is great but it isnt gemstone's product.
