Hi All,

I have been playing around with Zope as a newbie for sometime now. Now I =
want to start using the Object Database for my regular applications. I =
know the paradigm of using Object databases being different from the =
regular RDBMS. Now I understand how to design persistent classes in the =
object paradigm but I am not clear how to store these classes within =
Zope in the database. Can someone enlighten me on how to create the =
following customer class as a persistent class within Zope.

Customer
	Attributes :
		Name
		Age
	Methods :
		AddCustomer(Name, Age)
		DeleteCustomer(Name)
		LocateCustomer(Name)

I know about using python to create classes but its not clear how to use =
python scripts and how to store persistent classes with Zope itself =
instead of python.

Help...

Thanks for any thoughts on this...
