Yes. http://launchpad.net/ is one example of a Zope 3 site that uses a SQL database instead of ZODB. > Now, where should we start with it in Zope3 to connect it to an RDBMS? I do not have practical experience here. I would look at sqlos. (I would also probably investigate TurboGears of Django as a possible alternative. The grass always seems greener on the other side.) > 3.1 We have found 'PostGreSQL Database Adapter' and 'MySQL Database > Adapter'. Both are from the Isar sprint (2004-11-06).

The ZMI: In Zope2 we never used it. > Do we need the ZMI in Zope 3 No. You may have a fun time studying the Zope 3 internals if you decide that you want to get rid of the ZODB and any vestiges of ZMI (such as the default root folder with the associated site and local utilities). I am absolutely certain that it is doable, but I am afraid that you will have to figure out how to do it by yourself. > 6.

No, but that is not a typical use of Zope 3 (although it's been done), so you should not expect much in the way of documentation.
