There are several products that store underlying file data on disk, and
metadata in proxy objects in the ZODB:

Or, create custom products that do this to fit your needs.  A good
hypothetical example is if you wanted to store 60MB postscript files and
manage thousands of these files; their metadata could be stored in the ZODB;
you could write filters to make their text contents able to be indexed by a
Catalog.  What is stored in ZODB (either in a file-proxy object or in a
Catalog) is meaningfully queriable information.

What kind of data are you trying to store?

Hi all,

Besides LocalFS, does Zope have any other products or methods to serves-up
linux local file system.  What i want to do is to allow our
users(developers) to upload/download their contents to the
webser without having to import huge files into ZODB.  
These files could reach up to Gigabytes per user.

Does anyone have any suggestion on how i should handle this?

Thanks, 

Mike
