The ZODB is essentially a persisted object graph. Not more, not less. In 
other words: there is no way to extract any "raw" data, all are 
python-objects. To persist these, you need to write a serialization of 
these objects to something that you can process further. XML-pickling 
might be an option. Or you write some generic thing based on dir() or 
__dict__.
