[ZODB-Dev] Newbie ZODB Questions

[Patrick K. O'Brien]

Are the pros and cons of each storage option documented anywhere? My
impression is that FileStorage is the oldest and most common, and that
others, such as the Berkeley DB, are newer and still under development (at
least in terms of being used by ZODB). Is that the case? Is FileStorage the
"safe bet" at this point in time?

This is only true for FileStorage. The ZODB is an abstraction layer over
a variety of possible storages.
