That depends what you mean with "databse":

  *  There is APE which allows you to save Zope objects on
     different media (standard ZODB, relational database, file system).

     This is an alpha state product.

  *  There is "LocalFS". It gives Zope access to files
     in the file system. Depending on extension, the
     files are proxied by Zope objects (therefore, they
     can be uses as DTML methods, Python Scripts, File objects, ...)

  *  There is "Filesystem Directory View" (part of CMF;
     also available as a stand alone (non CMF) product).

     It is similar to "LocalFS". Differences: it is read only
     and it is more efficient.
