[Zope] Zope3 DTML in Filesystem ZSQL

[David Pratt]

I've decided to stick with DTML for the time being since I can write 
and test my sql as sql and stick with my ZPT skills.  I realize the DB 
API is also nice but the advantage of writing as DTML is that if you 
had to go back to plain sql if needed and you are not tied to your 
python code.  Portability is important since you never know what the 
future brings and it is simpler to change interfaces than work out all 
your sql all over again on a larger app.

I have looked at Five and Zope3 and I will likely wait for a few 
releases of 2.8 before jumping in on production sites but will put it 
on a development server to learn and experiment.

Regards,
David
