Mike,

First of all, kudos on your candor and being willing to share your "hack"
(storage.py).
Thanks. I'm humbly getting things done without a lot of python knowledge and no zope experience. I wouldn't recommend this approach to anyone, it's just some cowboy hacking.

My 1st thought is, why don't you create a content type and store it in the
ZODB at the time the video is uploaded? The type would include the video
metadata (vanilla RSS, Dublin Core, etc) and a link to the off-site content.
Much more helpful than a "not here" message, yeah?
Yep, the content type is created - it's just the file field that has the odd storage. All other fields are normal.

Secondly, I'm wondering why you're using SQL. Is it to interface with legacy
system(s)? But that's probably just my purist streak talking. :-)
Relstorage for load balancing and replication. that's about it. I inherited the setup (yeah, I know, bad excuse). But Rethinking a Data.fs solution to the problem is probably not going to help anyway.


IIRC, there are hooks in Zope like "manage_before_save()", "...after_save",
etc. This would be ideal, as you could strip the blob from the request before
doing an insert. Yeah?
I'm going to look into this stuff.
I stumbled on some docs that hinted you could call 'pack()' directly on a single piece of storage, but I've yet to find them again. This might be a solution.

Anyway, sorry I can't be more help w/ the specifics of your installation.
No worries.  Happy to get a reply.
