We are abandoning the use of DB-API interfaces for our own use simply because they have proven to be of little value in getting things running. In addition, their behavioral assumptions are sometimes quite incompatible with Zope requirements. Jim Fulton can better speak to this. We're now doing a more "thin shim" approach, and not going anywhere near the DB-API or SWIG.

I guess I did "the right thing" on MySQLdb: Create a native interface (_mysql) with a Python DB API wrapper (MySQLdb). It turned out to be very easy to convert the old ZMySQLDA (using MySQLmodule-1.4) to use _mysql, and MySQLmodule and _mysql are quite dissimilar. It might be worth pointing out (not to AMK or MAL, they know this) that Solid's native interface is ODBC. -- andy dustman | programmer/analyst | comstar.net, inc. telephone: 770.485.6025 / 706.549.7689 | icq: 32922760 | pgp: 0xc72f3f1d
