_______________________________________________________________________ ANNOUNCEMENT EGENIX.COM mxODBC Zope Database Adapter Version 1.0.6 Beta 1 for FreeBSD 4.8 _______________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION The eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter (Zope DA) allows you to easily connect your Zope installation to just about any database backend on the market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially supported eGenix.com product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC standard as middle-tier architecture. One Interface on all Platforms... Unlike Zope's ZODBC Zope DA, the mxODBC Zope DA works on Windows XP/NT/2000/98/95, Linux, Solaris and now FreeBSD using the same interface on all platforms High Performance... The mxODBC Zope DA implements thread-safe connection pooling and multiple physical connects per logical Zope connection. You can safely run Z SQL Methods in parallel, achieving a much better performance than ZODBC Zope DA or similar Zope database adapters under heavy load. This makes it ideal for deployment in Zope Clusters and Zope hosting environments where stability and high performance are a top priority. _______________________________________________________________________ BETA TESTING Please report any bugs you find to support(a)egenix.com. Evaluation licenses can be had from licenses(a)egenix.com. _______________________________________________________________________ MORE INFORMATION For more information on the mxODBC Zope DA, licensing and download instructions, please visit our web-site: http://www.egenix.com/ You can buy mxODBC Zope DA licenses online from the eGenix.com shop at: http://shop.egenix.com/ _______________________________________________________________________ Thank you, -- Marc-Andre Lemburg eGenix.com Professional Python Software directly from the Source (#1, Jul 01 2003) >>> Python/Zope Products & Consulting ... http://www.egenix.com/ >>> mxODBC, mxDateTime, mxTextTools ... http://python.egenix.com/ ________________________________________________________________________ 2003-07-01: Released mxODBC Zope DA for FreeBSD 1.0.6 beta 1
