[Zope] which platform independent database?

[Jaroslav Lukesh]

kindergarten-RDBMS :-D

And what about Interbase Firebird? Is it stone-stable and is possible to do 
simple backup/restore process to make ready&go backup? I will use ZODB and 
filesysstem as main storage, but some SQL is needed too.

If you don't want any moving parts: don't use a RDBMS but soley use the
ZODB (where the Data.fs is basically the only moving part). If you are
looking for a kindergarten-RDBMS: look at SQLite. All other enterprise-level
databases are of course more complex and require more maintenance..make
your choice..
