[Zope] win32 - best DBMS with Zope?

[David Burton]

It sounds like you think that all the database work is handled by Gadfly.

This is completely wrong.

ZODB and Gadfly are completely separate.

ZODB is the object-relational database that handles all of the document storage of ZOPE, and which can be used to provide very sophisticated systems in a 
coherent object-oriented manner.

Gadfly is an quick-and-dirty relational database, which, you're right, is not designed for large amounts of information, as it stores tables in memory. It is only 
used if you create a Gadfly database instance and explicitly work with it, however.

ZODB definitely IS designed to handle large amounts of information.
