[Zope-DB] Berkeley database question

[John Toews]

Note I sent this the other day to Zope at zope.org and was referred to
ZODB-dev. However I want to use my Berkeley database (technically DB
XML) as part of my application, not to extend/modify Zope itself.

Does anyone use Berkeley DB with Python & Zope? I am wondering if it is
possible to maintain a persistent database connection? (for those that
don't know, BDB uses a file on the drive as the database, so normally
you open & close that file during runtime)

Thanks,
John Toews
