Hello, Newbie question here... Thank you for any and all help... The subject line says it all.. What's the best way to connect an instance of Zope running on a Linux box to an instance of Oracle 7.3 running on a Solaris box in the same subnet... As far as I can tell, the OracleDA seems designed to connect an instance of Zope and an instance of Oracle running on the same machine.. We don't want to do that because then we would effectively have to buy Oracle twice.. (we already have the 7.3 server up and running..) Am I wrong? I am willing to go through the whole Oracle install on this machine, to get the libraries, but I need to know that I'm not barking up the wrong tree.. Also, are there any other decent alternatives? ODBC? ???? Thank you! Chris cbeaumon@msri.org
