Yeah should be simple, at least it is with mysql. When you create your database connection in Zope, fill in the properties of the creation form putting the remote server in as part of the connection string. For example I have a DB connection that looks to my db server so the connection string will look like (mysql): timetable@d031.ml.uwcm.ac.uk user password This means connect to the d031.ml.uwcm.ac.uk machine using the timetable db username is user and password is password. I hope that makes some sense.

Zopistas, I'm kinda stressing on this one... Is there any way I can do SQL queries to a remote machine without having to have a DA and Zope instantiated on that machine? I just need to run queries, nothing more than that. (the machine is HP-UX and the database is Oracle 8.0.5.1) Thanks tremendously, -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen you cannot abdicate responsibility for your ideology. _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://www.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope (Related lists - please, no cross posts or HTML encoding!
