You might want to distinguish between ZODB as a framework, and the
FileStorage implementation that comes standard.  Using Ty Sarna's
"BerkeleyStorage" product allows you to store frequently-changed data items
without the continuous FileStorage size growth, at the cost of not
supporting Undo or Versions (which SQL databases don't provide, anyhow.)
