If you are interested, you can check out IndexedCatalog, which offers a
Catalog-like class with query() functionality. The Catalog offers a
mechanism similar to a table in the sense that it groups together
similar objects, allowing them to be conveniently retrieved as desired.
Find IndexedCatalog at www.async.com.br/projects/IndexedCatalog/

Greg is very correct in saying objects are much easier to manage in the
ZODB than rows in a relational table. You just need to take care about
consistency of data, since Python and ZODB are very flexible indeed.

Take care,
