Hi steve .. I have already a tiny version of ZsapdbDA which basically works. I had contact to the maintainer of the python-module for sapdb. and he handed out a nearly python DBI 2.0 compatible interface. there might be some problems with the python-module and linux/python/threads .. i didn't test this issue very much. The Zsapdbda is basically working .. there are some issues concernig Type-Conversion and Exception-handling has to be refined. ZsapdbDA is a remake of ZMySQLDA/DCOracle. I have uploaded this product as an 0.0.1-alpha-preview .. you know what i mean :) http://www.zope.org/Members/jack-e/ZsapdbDA So feel free to use this for further development .. i don't have any time right now. hope this helps cu Ulrich Eck ----- Original Message ----- From: "Steve Alexander" <steve@cat-box.net> To: <zope-dev@zope.org> Sent: Friday, March 09, 2001 4:20 PM Subject: [Zope-dev] SAP DB <--> ZODB ?
I just heard that the SAP DB has gone Free and Open Source.
----
SAP DB is an open, SQL-based, relational database management system that provides high availability and performance scaling from small to very large implementations.
In addition, SAP DB goes beyond relational database technology by offering object orientation as well as support for managing unstructured data. It supports open standards including SQL, JDBC and ODBC; access from Perl and Python; and HTTP-based services with HTML or XML content. SAP DB is platform independent, so users can deploy it for a wide array of projects.
Since 1994, the SAP e-Business Solution is available on SAP DB technology. Today SAP DB is being used by nearly 800 customers.
On October 5, 2000, at Linux World SAP DB was announced to be made available as Open Source software using the GNU General Public License for the database kernel and the GNU Lesser General Public License for clients and programming interfaces. ----

I'd never heard of SAP DB before, although I've heard of SAP.
This looks as if it would be good for a ZODB storage.
