There are a bunch of things to say here - first of all, it may be clear to /you/, but it's not clear to /us/! You do need to respect the fact that others may use different terms (or consider different things implicit), to communicate usefully. I've become frustrated myself whilst getting to grips (to the extent that I have!) with these tools, but it doesn't help...what helps is chipping away at it with a positive attitude until you arrive at some common ground. Now you mention CMFMember, it seems that you want to add "fields" (attributes?) to the Member "record" (object?). If you think of the ZODB as a database, and Zope as an application server, you are now getting into the specifics of an /application/ (CMF/Plone), and in that context your needs are perhaps more complex than you think: You need to store your data, yes, but you also need to integrate the capture and updating of that data into an existing application. So you are not really asking for a database management tool but a product which does that and more besides - which goes to show that the terminology /is/ important! -- Regards, PhilK Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] PGP Public key: http://www.xfr.co.uk Voicemail & Facsimile: 07092 070518 "You'll find that one part's sweet and one part's tart: say where the sweetness and the sourness start." - Tony Harrison _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
