I wonder how many Python programmers are familiar with them from before? For me that ease of serialization was kind of a revelation early on - 'whoa i can save my apps complex state this easily, in a small file that loads quickly!' ODBs are not exactly pickling, but there is perhaps something similar, so possibly it is another technology (besides SQL) to refer to when introducing Durus. Just a thought that came to mind, did not think too much of it yet, dunno if it makes sense. btw the Durus-using Schevo project has some advocacy articles about ODBs that might have interesting points to bring up. > --amk > ~Toni
