[Zope-dev] Re: [Zope-Checkins] SVN: Zope/trunk/lib/python/Shared/DC/ZRDB/ Collector #556: sqlvar now returns 'null' rather than 'None'.

[Andrew Veitch]

SQLite implements enough of a subset of SQL to be genuinely useful  
and it's performance isn't too bad either. There is a Zope DA for it  
somewhere too.

We've never been able to use Gadfly for testing as it's so far from  
standard SQL that it just causes more problems than it solves - as we  
saw at the beginning of this thread.
