[Zope] Use the ZODB as an ODBC data source

[Cees de Groot]

Well, you'd need an SQL engine on top of it, of course (and SQL is a terrible
language to implement parsers for), plus you would need to write a mapping
tool to map python classes to SQL tables, etcetera. It's a non-trivial
undertaking, and I've only heard of a single OODB product that ever had a SQL
interface (I'm don't recall which one, but I think it was some Smalltalk
database).

It's probably easier to access the ZODB directly with a PHP module that
talks to a ZEO server or some COM wizardry below ASP (I'm just blabbering
here, I really wouldn't know what's necessary to extend ASP).
