There are no tables to add fields to. As someone else already pointed out: Zope objects often use so called properties as "field" emulation. Unlike for a relational database where you specify the fields of a table (and all rows inherit these fields), properties are on individual objects (which are somehow like rows). Zope has a feature where you can define properties not for individual objects but for whole collections of them: "ZClass"es. Adding properties to a property sheet of a ZClass ensures that all instances of the class have these properties (with the default value defined by the class). -- Dieter _______________________________________________ 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 )
