Hi Graeme, Indeed Zeoslib accesses many databases natively too. I want to work with PostgreSQL... but the possibility to link to other DB is very interesting for the flexibility it gives to the software.
I will have to take a look more in deep to OPF to see what it can do for me. There are application examples, so it will also give me a quick idea. I'll be able to take the best decision for our devel after that. Fortunately this is not urgent for now, we are only gathering data and informations for futur projetcs. Thank you for your toughts on the issue.
