It's an object oriented database, with a structure that is similar to files and directories in an ordinary OS. But it is a lot smarter, because the files and directories are actually objects with different attributes and parameters. The methods on these objects can then be called eg. from a web browser with different parameters. But you can also use other protocols than http like dav, ftp etc. This is a very effective way to build web applications, and does not need sql-object remapping as normal web apps does. -- hilsen/regards Max M, Denmark http://www.mxm.dk/ IT's Mad Science -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
