[Zope] How many objects can ZODB hold?

[sbabu@tnc.org]

Yeah,

Thanks for all the info. You know uninformed implies more
paranoid!

Anyway, I guess by the time my ZODB fills up, we'll be using
Windows XP 10e23 and it'll probably be the only thing left
alive - because by then MS Wreck-A-Nice-Beach (recognize-speech)
technology would've rendered CTRL-ALT-DEL keyboards obsolete)
in the universe :-)

Zope's OID uses 64-bit integers;  by my calculations, that would
cause a really high-write site to run out of OIDs sometime after
the heat-death of the universe :)
