I just did some tests on the performance of the partial matching features of ZCatalog. They weren't as good as I hoped. A Catalog of 2000 objects, text index on a 10 char string (person's last name), with a partial search that will match only 200 items... it takes 10 seconds. At 1000 matches it takes over a minute. And Zope is inaccessible this entire time. This is after I upgraded to Python-2.0 for the new re module (which helped) and messing with interpreter check interval (which didn't really help). Are there any other tricks to get this to perform better? Aside from switching to a relational database. -- John Eikenberry [[EMAIL PROTECTED] - http://zhar.net] ______________________________________________________________ "A society that will trade a little liberty for a little order will deserve neither and lose both." --B.
