</div>The mxODBC Zope DA makes the execute() method available to connection object instances which allows for parameter binding and the next release will make this available for PythonScripts. Rather than use ExternalMethods, however, I'd suggest that you use Views instead which make tying everything together a lot easier.<br>
<br>
Regarding performance: the comparisons we did a few years ago suggested that parameter binding is around 40% faster for non-cached access from Zope as Zope does quite a lot of work to turn ZSQL methods into usable queries. If the caching works for you then you will have pretty good performance because Zope will only actually run the query for something that isn't in the cache. Stored procedures can offer a performance improvement if you plan to manipulate the data in any way, ie. if you want to get data out of several views and do something with it before you pass it to the browser. But most importantly - in the Zope world the RDBMS is unlikely ever to be your bottleneck.<br>
