Re: [Boa Constr] Database applications in Boa

[John B. <jbe...@ya...>]

As Alain pointed out Boa is only designed to deal with
the interface issue.  AFAIK the Zope integration is
designed only to cover the interactive management of
the properties of Zope objects rather than being some
kind of ZODB integration.  Some of the wxWindows
planning documents allude to the idea of database
aware objects as a long term idea, but this was all
written a long time ago and I don't know if it's
relevant any longer.  Also, if implemented I imagine
they'd choose ODBC support.  As far as a platform is
concerned, unfortunately ZODB doesn't have a
PostgreSQL interface, and given that the ZODB code
includes quite a bit of Python internals magic writing
one is not for the faint hearted!  If you're
interested in PostgreSQL I'd recomend using the
psycopg package, particularly if you're writing
threaded applications.  AFAIK there's no really
serious Python software out there for dealing with the
higher level issues of database integration (ie.
database aware objects, support for transactions etc).
 If your interest goes that far there's a couple of
papers on design issues by Scott Ambler, I think on
the Ronin Software site.  Sorry, but I can't recall
the URL.
