Possible it is, but probably harder than just doing what they said

I would guess from "__module__". Why doesn't zodb has a table of some form for this info? I heard that sometimes for very small objects the string containing this information can use up to 30% of the whole space of the file (using FileStorage). How does RelStorage store this? ps: I should probably look around on code to find this, but I'm asking so that I know why it was made the way it is. -- Leonardo Santagada santagada at gmail.com _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - [email protected] http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
