[Zope-ZEO] ZEO/ZODB and SQL/ODBC storage manager?

[Chris McDonough]

No.  It would be nice, but I don't think there is such a thing as a
generic SQL backend...  every relational-db backed storage will need to
have slightly different semantics and syntax.  For rationale, see
http://www.zope.org/Members/jim/ZODB/RelationalStorageDiscussion.
BerkeleyStorage is an entirely different animal, and is even more
different than any relational storage would be.
