There is a good guide to the ZODB from Andrew Kuchling (or similar). It may be old -- but everything is still valid. >On the internet, there is some talk about the different storage >providers, but it seems mostly very old.

"FileStorage" is must faster than all other storages. Therefore, it dominates the scene. "DirectoryStorage", too, is used more widely. Internally, "TemporaryStorage" is used (a RAM based storage for sessions). DemoStorage is used for unit tests. >How does their performance compare?

The current version is near 3.8, maybe. >There is some talk about blobs, are they >described somewhere? There should be a proposal at "http://wiki.zope.org/ZODB/ListOfProposals";. But, I just checked, there is not :-( But a search for "ZODB Blob" gives quite a few hits. -- Dieter _______________________________________________ For more information about ZODB, see the ZODB Wiki: http://www.zope.org/Wikis/ZODB/ ZODB-Dev mailing list - ZODB-Dev@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zodb-dev
