So, has anyone experience with ZopeDB? Are there some drawbacks I should be aware of before getting a book and dive in? (It sounds too good ;-))
I've been using it as part of a couple applications I wrote 10 years ago that use zope. I'm not sure how my comments relate to non-zope usage or the recent versions so YMMV.
The two things that bother me most are that without packing the database, it grows -- apparently without bound. It'll pack a 1Gb source DB down to 32Mb. Also, I once experienced corruption and found it impossible to recover the lost data, and I've a fair amount of experience recovering lost data even from unmountable partitions and drives that don't power up.
I'm not opposed to the idea so I think I'd try it out, but those are issues I'd watch for.
