If you have a site that is heavy transactional with many writes pr. second
like a shopping site, or you have a big catalogue with lots and lots of
rows, or you have data in an ordinary dbms that you need to use for
historical reasons, or because of company policy or whatever. Then you
should use an ordinary rdbms.

If you want to publish content on the web you should just juse ZODB. Far
less hazle, and you can integrate the two approaches later where you have
some parts of your data in the ZODB and other parts in an RDBMS.
