Fyi, reading the Gadfly documentation first is a really good idea. It contains information about what Gadfly is, what it supports, and how you create databases. What the Z Gadfly database adapter does when you open a connection in an empty directory, is execute the following code (from db.py): if not path.exists(path.join(dir,connection+".gfd")): db=gadfly.gadfly() db.startup(connection,dir) This will create a new database (the .gfd file). Creating the tables is your job ("create table" statements in SQL). -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "What the hell, he thought, you're only young once, and threw himself out of the window. That would at least keep the element of surprise on his side." --Douglas Adams, _The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy_

I have problems with Z SQL Method in Zope 2 which was installed in a unix(linux) machine. I need to know the following.
Create a Z Gadfly Database Connection. I created a directory 'test' in Zope-2.0.0a1-src/var/gadfly and it appeared in the Data Source field. How can I access it thru SQL Method since it isn't a database at all (just a plain dir !!). Can I create a database or table via SQL Method?
Do I need to link the data source with a gadfly database? If yes, how??
By default, there's a demo data source. How can I use it????? How do I know what are the tables in it anyway?? Thus, I can't use the SQL Method.
I would appreciate very much if you can reply as soon as possible. I need to use SQL Method desperately now.
Thanks so much, Paul
