MySQL vs Plone/Zope/Python
I've been experimenting with databases, both Drupal and Plone. Plone is a can of worms, but it's intriguing, partly because it's so different. It sounds like they replace LAMP with something completely different, though it's a complete mystery to me at present. I wondered if anyone on this list has had experience with Plone and could explain how their system compares to PHP/MySQL. I'll be working with animal kingdom data - child-parent relationships and recursive arrays. I don't want to abandon PHP and MySQL for something totally new after I've put so much time and effort into them. But it might be worthwhile for this particular site if Plone offers some major advantage. It's also my understanding that PHP and MySQL can still be used with Plone, though not be default. So, do you know if Plone offers any significant advantages over MySQL, or is it just comparing apples and oranges? Thanks.

I'll be working with animal kingdom data - child-parent relationships and recursive arrays. I wouldn't compare Plone and MySQL. I believe Zope (and hence Plone's) underlying database technology is something called ZODB, you might want to look into that. FWIW, I got caught up in the Zope/Plone bandwagon a year or more ago and it just didn't stick. There are things I find intriguing as well about Zope/Plone, but I've had much better success just installing a Mambo/Drupal site to get a quick CMS. I'm curious to see if Zope 3 makes Zope an attractive product again, but for now I'll just stick with PhP. Not that I think Python is a bad language for web apps, I'm actually starting to like Python more and more.
