Let me focus the discussion: I think it's nearly always a bad idea for
anyone, newbie or expert, to put a template or script in ZODB. Do we
have any agreement on that point? I wish we did. I enjoy ZODB for many
purposes, but not for storing templates and scripts.
Sorry, I gotta wave my hand here... a lot of my development, especially
for small projects, is scripts and templates developed via WebDAV and
stored in the ZODB. I find the undo facility, and the history compare,
invaluable for this...
At one extreme, ZClasses tested the hypothesis that everything,
including code, belongs in ZODB. I think experience has proven that
hypothesis wrong.
Nah, I just think ZClasses sucked in implementation and support...
The persistent code idea in Zope 3 tries to give
ZClasses a new birth, but it seems to have turned out even more
complicated than ZClasses.
I think Google have proved that complicated!=bad, provided the right
interface is there...
A good practice when developing with ZODB is to zap and re-create the
object database regularly.
Who says there only has to be one?
cheers,
Chris
