Well, I havn't use either yet, but I have some experience with SQL DBs. >From what I read on the website, Kirby seems like a nice idea, if you really need nothing more than table-structured data, made up of simple data types. It only supports basic data types (int, float, string, boolean, date[time]) no objects and it isn't even relational, i.e. you can't express references between tables or columns and when querying for data, you can do so only from one table at a time. This makes it very hard to normalize your data, because you would have to handle all the relations between tables in your code. The nice thing is, it writes flat text files, you can edit by hand or probably even import into a spreadsheet application. ZOBD, on the other hand, is a totally differnt beast. It doesn't store data in tables, but stores (as the name says) objects, which might feel more natural to use in your code. Note, that it is written partly in C and as such, might not be so easy to deploy as a pure-python solution like Kirby.
