You can see where I was at if you look at: http://cvs.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/poop/documents/poop-comparison.pod?rev=1.2&content-type=text/vnd.viewcvs-markup If you want to help it'd be much appreciated. The goal is to finish it, turn it into HTML and stick it somewhere that people will see it (poop.perl.org?) -dave /*== www.urth.org We await the New Sun ==*/

That's correct. I think Tangram is more of a 'pure' object storage solution than SPOPS is, and, IIRC, Tangram also requires you to modify your table schema to use it. > Anyone (including Chris) done a comparison of the two (SPOPS and > Tangram) and willing to comment on strengths, weaknesses, > differences, etc? That is an excellent idea and would be quite useful. I'll see what I can do in the (relatively) near future.

Using Dave Rolsky's OO-RDBMS vs RDBMS-OO sort of description of Tangram and Alzabo, it sounds like SPOPS is more in the same category as Tangram, correct? Anyone (including Chris) done a comparison of the two (SPOPS and Tangram) and willing to comment on strengths, weaknesses, differences, etc? Thanks, Ray

Any particular reasons why any of > these may not play with with mod_perl/Mason? SPOPS plays very well with mod_perl -- it's an integral part of the OpenInteract web application framework which (currently) depends on mod_perl. If you wind up using it, there's some initialization you'll probably want to do at server startup and in the child init phase -- let me know if you're interested and I'll pull the SPOPS-specific stuff out of OpenInteract.

I want to attempt to store XML trees in it, as I've yet to find a good free sytem for storing arbitrary XML data. If you do attempt to use it, please let me know how it works out. Nathan
