[Zope] xmlrpc and zope objects

[Derek Basch]

Yeah,
Finding the named parameters is the fun part :{
I have been having more success with it lately though
and can now put data in new dtml docs or in
FileStorage/ZODB :). 

Speaking of which, can anyone tell me the practical
size limit of the ZODB? For example, could 100,000
small documents be stored and indexed/searched without
much trouble? How many records could I store using the
BTree package? Is an SQL back-end my best choice for
large amounts of small records?

I have no background in DB's so any help would be
welcome. Thanks.
