ZODB Tips and Tricks

A presentation I just gave about ZODB at the 2005 Plone Symposium is available here for download.

It's meant to be a semi-gentle introduction for Zope programmers about how to use ZODB outside of Zope and how to improve ZODB performance. You can get it here .

DirectoryStorage as performance booster? No.

On one slide you lump in DirectoryStorage as a way to boost ZODB performance. Now I know Toby is a genius in his own right (anyone developing a full ZODB data storage backend is), but DirectoryStorage is still woefully slow compared to good old FileStorage. They were using DirectoryStorage at the place where I work right now, and one of the first things we did was to get rid of it. Not only did we boost the application speed, we also finally got around all the typical other slowdowns you get when you store millions of little objects on the file system. Such as super-slow backups, buildouts, sandbox removal, etc. Everyone is much happier now.

Good presentation

I very much appreciated your ZODB presentation, Chris, particularly the updates on what was happening with ZODB at the latest PyCon sprint.

nice overview
