Greetings-
I have a fairly mature Python application which uses MySQL for the =
database.  I would like to switch over from a single machine application =
to a web based app (and maybe even make some money!!), and thought Zope =
would be the logical choice.  The past 2 weeks have had me running =
through the examples in the Zope book and the Zope "Bible", and I =
*think* I am ready to create a project.  Then I read the the creators of =
Zope do not reccommend using MySQL with Zope on a Windows box.  Rats!  =
So...
   1.  Is this still sound advice?
   2.  If so, what other Open Source Database is out there.  I really =
would like data/time data types, so that would leave Gadfly out, right?  =
Plus. my database is getting fairly large (~5 Meg), so I'm not sure I =
want to load it all in memory.

Thanks for any advice you can supply!
