[Zope] Zope object database capabilities

[Steven Turoff]

Greetings,

I'm not sure whether or not to use an external database (mySQL) for my 
site. I can envision, for example, having a folder, 'reports', that 
contains 100,000 reports. Each report is either a folder or a dtml-document 
with a 'client' property. I would use some dtml to go thru all of the 
reports and list those that belong to the currentClient:

<dtml-in "reports.objectValues()">
	<dtml-if "client == currentClient">
		<dtml-var sequence-item>
	</dtml-if>
</dtml-in>

Or, I can do this using mySQL. If Zope's database is capable of scaling 
this large, I'd rather use it. Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Steve
