Tom,

The approach I'm taking for two projects that involve
storing large numbers of objects in a single location is to
create a Specialist/Rack/DataSkin setup. In that way, I'll
be able to switch to an RDBMS storage in the future if I
want/need to, and in the meantime I can store everything in
the ZODB.

HTH,

Michael Bernstein.
