Eek!

This makes it sound as though the use of the ZODB and an external RDBMS are 
mutually exclusive - *NOT SO*!!! in non-niche situations, if you need an 
RDBMS, you need an RDBMS - it's a case of using the right tool for the job.

- The fact that the ZODB dB is integrated into the application server and 
doesn't require you to set up an SQL-database for data management tasks which 
do not call for one is a "pro".

- The fact tha Zope will "play nice" with an external RDBMS for data 
management tasks which do call for one is /another/ "pro".
