Dublin Core Elements

The Dublin Core metadata element set is a standard for cross-domain information resource description.
Element Description Value
Identifier resource ID http://old.zope.org/Members/srichter/Products/ZOQLMethod
Title resource name ZOQL Method
Description resource summary ZOQL Methods allow you to quickly query and manipulate objects in the ZODB. You do not require the ZCatalog or worry about all the namespace issues. And, I tried to keep it as close to SQL as I possibly was able to, which makes it easy to use for the long-time SQL coders. Why did I not use a standard? Well, in my opinion there is no real standard out there. Oh, you mean the OQL and OCL standard? Have you looked at it? It is so Java-centric that no Python programmer would use it. Why not XML (XPath/XQuery...)? In my opinion XPath is okay and with 4Suite you already have nice XPath support in Zope. XQuery has simply a disgusting syntax, which I would never use. Furthermore, I think for a Programming language like Python and an advanced Application server like Zope, there needs to be a simple, leightweight query language. And that's the goal of ZOQL! A lot of the credit for this product goes to Thomas Foerster, who implemented the original parser and wrote the first proof of concept. I took it from there to make it a Python product. How do you pronounce ZOQL? It is like: 'So cool!' :-)

If you can read this text, it means you are not experiencing the Plone design at its best. Plone makes heavy use of CSS, which means it is accessible to any internet browser, but the design needs a standards-compliant browser to look like we intended it. Just so you know ;)
