[Zope] alternative storage managers ?

[Ben Edwards]

Not sure if this helps but it sounds to me like you may want to look at storing
the data in a rdbms.  MySQL, ProgresSQL and Interbase are the free ones (not
entily sure if this is true for interbase).  I know oracle could do this (but
of course it is expensive).  Also the platform you are using is probably important
for this type of stuff (i.e. go for unix).
