Dabo doesn't know how to interact with ZODB. While we may be able to provide a wrapper for it in the future, it would be of limited usefulness since Dabo is for relational (sql-like) databases and ZODB is an object database. That said, you could still access your ZODB from within a Dabo application using Python, it is just that Dabo doesn't provide any wrapper for it and you wouldn't be able to put a dBizobj in front of it. A ZODB is basically a honking persistent Python dict, and you don't need to be within the Zope web interface to access it. You are putting accounting and financial data in a ZODB? Any reason why you aren't using a relational database such as MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird, Oracle, MS-SQL, etc.? ZODB can be useful and convenient for some things, but trying to make an object database relational can be quite hairy... Anyway, the simple answer is that Dabo isn't for object databases. -- pkm ~ http://paulmcnett.com _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/dabo-users
