[Zope] RE: [Zope-CMF] mysqlUserFolder and CMF

[Norman Khine]

You are too good I was just looking at these tools.

Can I confirm then that if I go down the route of mySQLUserFolder all I will
be concern with in ensuring it is complient with the CMF to be the
portal_registration part of the application lloking at the Portal Object
schema http://www.zope.org/Products/PTK/UML/PTKBase/Portal_Objects_Diag.html

and I suppose I'll need to look at the portal_membership
www.zope.org/Products/PTK/UML/PTKBase/portal_membership_Info.html objects
and merge it with the mysqlUserFolder

Well thatnks for your help, I have taken enough of your time. If this work I
will sit down and write a How-to ;^)

Regards

Norman

Assuming mysqlUserFolder caches the authentication tokens (and it very
likely does), there should be only a minor performance drop when using an
RDBMS.  The ZODB has built-in caching that reduces the time it takes to
access authentication tokens to something on the order of nanoseconds :-)
while SQL authentication without caching can easily take up to 100 ms per
request, which would be noticeable.

You could analyze the HTTP log, Z2.log.  To query the members folder use a
Python script like:

return len(container.Members.objectIds())

For email properties look at what the "roster" method does.
