     Don't squeeze your objects into tables: store them in an object database.
 
-The Zope Object Database (ZODB) provides seamless object persistence in Python.
-It gets rid of requiring a relational database for your object-oriented
-application and provides you with a powerful and safe object store:
-persistence, transactions, scalability, :doc:`and more<overview>`.
+Overview
+========
+
+Python programs are written with the object-oriented paradigm. You use objects
+that reference each other freely and can be of any form and shape: no object
+has to adhere to a specific schema and can hold arbitrary information.
+
+Storing those objects in relational databases requires you to give up on the
+freedom of reference and schema. The constraints of the relational model
+reduces your ability to write object-oriented code.
+
+The ZODB is a native object database, that stores your objects while allowing
+you to work with any paradigms that can be expressed in Python. Thereby your
+code becomes simpler, more robust and easier to understand.
+
+Also, there is no gap between the database and your program: no glue code to
+write, no mappings to configure. Have a look at the tutorial to see, how easy
+it is.
+
+Some of the features that ZODB brings to you:
+
+* Transparent persistence for Python objects
+* Full ACID-compatible transaction support (including savepoints)
+* History/undo ability
+* Efficient support for binary large objects (BLOBs)
+* Pluggable storages
+* Scalable architecture
