[Zope-dev] ZPatterns, MySQL, Full Text Searching

[Chris Withers]

Hello,

I've read that ZPatterns and ZCatalog don't interact too well and I was
wondering if this is also true of the new ZPatterns release. I might be
looking to move something to ZPatterns so that it can get all benefits
of Zope's security system and things like the Catalog, obviously if the
Catalog doesn't work with ZPatterns, that's a bit of a problem :-S

On a related note, has anyone thought of using MySQL's new full text
searching to implement the Catalog interface? Has anyone thought of or
actually made the Catalog stuff into an interface so people can
implement other options to ZCatalog?

cheers,

Chris

PS: Is there a ZPatterns demo/tutorial around anywhere? How should I
start getting into ZPatterns? What should I read? Where should I start?
