[Zope] Zope and MySQL on Windows

[Oliver Marx]

For your application MySQL will work nice and smooth.
Don't worry
Maybe you could consider using the ZODB?

Subject: [Zope] Zope and MySQL on Windows


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!
