Yes, DBTab-style mounts are what I'm looking for. Shane says, > Hopefully, Zope 2.7 will integrate DBTab's functionality. I took that at face value and assumed the rest of the crowd knew about it. DBTab's only limitation is that it has hard-coded storage types (most notably lacking is DirectoryStorage). The way I see this resolved is that DBTab knows nothing about storage types, but instead provides a mechanism for each storage to declare its configuration to ZConfig. I'm guessing the way to do that is to provide a ZConfig schema for each storage that declares what it needs configured, and a mount-point just needs a valid storage directive. Is this possible? I would also like to see the mounting mechanism work outside of Zope, so that you can partition a standalone ZODB application. That is outside the immediate scope of this thread, but something perhaps to keep in mind. a. -- Adrian van den Dries [EMAIL PROTECTED] Development team www.dev.flow.com.au FLOW Communications Pty.
