[Dev] ZODB is not a Storage Technology (Re: other formats )

[John Anderson]

Hi Curt:

If I'm not mistaken, I think a BerkelyDB will never shrink after 
deleting items unless you do a dump and restore. It would be a little 
frustrating for users if they had a large database, cleaned up a lot of 
cruft and it didn't get smaller. So at least this level of 
administration would be handy to automate.
