[Zope] Updating Multiple Database Records

[Maik Jablonski]

the best solution would be "in sql-terminology": normalize your 
database. store each unique email-adress only once in your ZODB and 
fetch the properties with "walking up and down" your ZODB.

if this is not possible: use ZopeFindAndApply. you can set this beast up 
to search for an specified objectProperty and take actions on the 
returned objects... so searching & replacing an email-adress is a 
python-snip!

cheers, maik
