ZMySQLDA

Hi, I'm playing with Zope, and have been trying to get Zope to talk to MySQL using the MySQLDA. I'm running RedHat 5.2 Since there were caveats about having MySQL development enabled, and such, I downloaded the source distribution for MySQL and made it. It appears to be working very nicely. When I follow the procedures outlined in the README, the following happens: I run make -f Makefile.pre.in boot and everything works correctly. I then run make and get the following error. gcc -fPIC -g -O2 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -I/usr/include/python1.5 -DHAVE_CONFIG _H -I/usr/local/mysql/include -I/usr/include/mysql -c ./MySQLmodule.c ./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_row': ./MySQLmodule.c:238: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type gcc -shared MySQLmodule.o -L/usr/local/mysql/lib -L/usr/lib/mysql -lmysqlclien t -lm -o MySQLmodule.so ld: cannot open -lmysqlclient: No such file or directory make: *** [MySQLmodule.so] Error 1 I did a locate on mysqlclient, and coudln't find the file. though I did find some called libmysqlclient. So I changed the both Setup and Setup.in to reflect that other name. however, I still get the above error. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -- Stand Fast, tjg. =================================================== Timothy Grant VP Technology/CTO Avalon Technology Group tjg(a)avalongroup.net www.avalongroup.net (503) 246-3630 voice (503) 246-3124 fax

Sorry, your ideas don't work either. This time I get a NameError for mhost in the following code in SendMailtag.py. mhost is never being created. if self.mailhost: mhost=md[self.mailhost] elif self.smtphost: mhost=MailBase() mhost._init(localHost=gethostname(), smtpHost=self.smtphost, smtpPort=self.port) mhost.send(self.section(md.this, md), self.mailto, self.mailfrom, self.subject) -- Robin Dunn robin(a)AllDunn.com http://AllDunn.com/robin/ http://AllDunn.com/wxPython/ Check it out!

Using Zope with CORBA (new user question)
by Jody Winston 04 Mar '99

04 Mar '99

I have a long running process that will be started by Zope. This process has a CORBA interface that is implemented using ILU. I would like to be able to asynchronously have this process generate data for Zope. My basic questions are: o Can I have an ILU mainloop inside of Zope? (I really don't care if I have to hack Zope or if I can use an external method.) o Should I fork/exec the long running process and give the process a URL that indicates where the data should be written? (I can use pickles or sql.) o How do I tell Zope that new data is avaliable if the process is external to Zope? Jody Winston

gadfly bug in charstring literal recognition [fixable]
by Aaron Watters 04 Mar '99

Oops. One "zope bug" I complained of was mine. If it had been reported to the gadfly-rdbms list it would have been fixed back when. viz: Aaron Watters wrote: > [copied to gadfly-rdbms list] > > Jim Fulton wrote: > >...most RDBMSs (as in all but gadfly) > > > accept: > > > > cursor.execute(""" > > select name > > from table > > where descr = 'this > > doesn''t work for two reasons' > > """) > > > > Are you saying that the SQL spec disallows newlines in > > quoted strings? > > I actually was unaware of that.

ONCE with dynamic parameters list [(1,2,3), (6,2,3), (1,7,3), (1,2,8)] which would run much faster than thrashing the parser with the individual inserts above (with kjbuckets present). In general dynamic parameters on repeated statements reduce parsing and binding overhead (even for other types of statements). However, I understand this may be hard to implement as it would require special features for the gadfly "adapter" not of value for the other adapters. Oh well. Anyway, in future please post/forward/crosspost any gadfly related issues to the gadfly list. I just discovered a pile of complaints on the zope list this morning and I found it distressing. I don't normally read the zope list. -- Aaron Watters http://www.chordate.com

Can the contents of Zope's lib/python directory safely be copied to the site-packages directory of the Python install directory? Thx, Skip Montanaro | Mojam: "Uniting the World of Music" http://www.mojam.com/ skip(a)mojam.com | Musi-Cal: http://www.musi-cal.com/ 518-372-5583

As a new zope user, and also according to my general documentation sensibilities, i suspect it would be very valuable to have a catalogue of the various special variables (like sequence-key and sequence-item) and the various entities (REQUEST.cookies, ...) available to the DTML programmer. There may already be some sort of catalogues around - in which case pointers to those kinds of resources would be very nice to have...
