ANNOUNCE: A Zope database adapter for dbtcp
by Julián Muñoz 02 Apr '02

02 Apr '02

A Zope database adapter for dbtcp. dbtcp is a system to access the odbc databases of a windows machine via tcp/ip (see http://www.fastflow.it/dbtcp/) For example, it COULD allow you to access a Windows .mdb database from a remote Linux Zope. So in the future it could substite the ZobcDA, and you coul move you zope to a Linux machine, were you will feel much more happy. (This is science fiction yet, see WARNING bellow). Requires the port of the dbtcp client api to python (http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbtcp-python) WARNING: The DA is in a very early stage, it doesn't work yet with ZSQL Methods! The reason of doing this announce is that I have not the knowledges (or the documentation) about Zope to continue the developpment, everyone with more knowledges is invited to take the leadership of the developpment. dbtcp doesn't support transactions, so the DA doesn't support transactions ! So some R&D has to be done also for developping dbtcp :-) Here are the links: http://sourceforge.net/projects/dbtcp-python/ http://sourceforge.net/projects/zdbtcpda/ -- __o _ \<_ (_)/(_) Saludos de Julián EA4ACL -.- Foro Wireless Madrid http://opennetworks.rg3.net
