DCORACLE2 DCOracle2 is Zope Corporation's second generation of its python bindings for Oracle. DCOracle2 is written to use the OCI 8 API, not the OCI 7 API that DCOracle uses, giving DCOracle2 compatibility with more advanced features in newer generations of the Oracle software. RELEASE DCOracle2 Beta 5 is now released, available at http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 in ZIP and tar.gz formats. Beta 5 is a unified source/binary distribution; the 'install.py' script will attempt to copy the proper binary in place for execution on your system. CONTENTS o DCOracle2 source o DCOracle2 binaries for Oracle 8i (Windows, Solaris, Linux) o ZOracleDA (the Zope Database Adapter) o DCOracleStorage (an Oracle Storage for Zope) INSTALLATION After unpacking, either run 'install.py' to copy an appropriate binary file from the binaries directory to the DCOracle2 directory, or type 'make' to attempt to make a new binary (unix only). For use as ZOracleDA, copy the DCO2 directory to {ZOPE ROOT}/lib/python/Products/ZOracleDA (renaming the directory from DCO2 to ZOracleDA). AVAILABILITY DCOracle2 is available from http://www.zope.org/Members/matt/dco2 immediately.
