I don't know all details and it was several years ago so some of my
saying may not be correct. I wasn't involved in the project. Please

ZODB. It was more of a marketing decision to show large companies that
ZODB is using a well known database instead of a self made one. The
project failed due to problems with the Berkeley db. I vaguely remember
something with transactions and speed ...
