Ah, okay, and yes, in that case, I am in complete agreement ;-) (the level I'm aiming at is just to be able to index python objects, I'll leave plugging that into the ZODB architecture up to someone who understands it better...) > Yup, I think I have a solution, but it'll involve some coding ;^) Ooo...care to explain? :-) > I would rather avoid having to use a relational database unless I have to. > Perhaps the index pluggability could be made to support different backends > (like FileStorage et al does). Yeah, unfortunately, the difficult bit is combining queries: gimme the results where index1=='fish' and index2 is between 2 and 5kg. if index1 is in SQL and index2 is in ZODB, for example, how would you go about efficiently combining results? > > That said, I wasn't aware of Matt's work up until very recently.

I'm available any time and date, just as long as I get a coupla days notice... cheers, Chris _______________________________________________ Zope-Dev maillist - [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope )
