<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I'm sure you have seen my earlier post about shapefiles.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">the files that i'm working with are .shp, .shx, .dbf</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">and I'm aware that zodb is not the place to store big files. I just need to translate individual entries in the data set into individual object in zodb.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I already have the tools to do it but I just don't know where to do it. Is it to bring the program to the user and process it on the user's computer or bring the data to my server and do it.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">If its on the user's computer, I could save the time from transfering files, which could be a really problem if the file is over 500mb, let alone 1GB. but the user's computer might not have the libraries needed to translate the set data. If I where to bring the file over to my computer I have to wait for the file to transfers to my computer but I wouldn't have to worry about the program not working.</DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif"> </DIV>
<DIV style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt; FONT-FAMILY: times new roman, new york, times, serif">I would really like to work on the first case, since I think it is the most effeicient way, but I don't know how to do it (bring the program to a computer that probably won't have python or the required libraries). Do you know how to accomplish this? Could you help me?</DIV>
