The issue with using an rdbms is not with the small amount of code needed to connect to it and query it, but in the overhead of installing the huge piece of software (the rdbms) itself, and keeping the rdbms server running all the time so the infrequently used app can connect to it. ZODB is also a big piece of software to install. Is it at least 100% Python with no C modules required? Does it need a separate server process? If it needs either C modules or a separate server, it really can't be called a low-end strategy. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
