[Zope] ZODB or MySQL for form data?

[Dennis Allison]

I use MySQL as a backend database because my application needs SQL and the
infrastructure that comes with it.  It's stable and clean.  The site also
uses the ZODB to store some kinds of information which is independent of
the presentation. IMHO, the best approach is to use tools which match the 
needs of the application.
