Hi, I'm making progress but I must be missing the point somewhere.
I've edited zope.conf as described and the multiple databases exist in the management interface. So that works fine. But when I create a plone site, I don't see any way to configure it to be stored in any place other than the main Data.fs. Is there some parameter in the zope management interface or do I have to do something at a lower level?
