The ZTable machinery buried in Zope is quite powerful.  I've loaded a
27,000 record, 27 Mb version of the Internet Movie Database into a
ZTable.  The memory footprint stayed well under control and the searches
were effectively instantaneous.  Unfortunately it isn't yet supported
for anything except ZTable, which is only available to consulting
customers.
