Hi Zopistas! we are looking for a method to do a better integration of mysql 3.23.27 with zope 2.2.2. (we are using the Z MySQL database adapter Z MySQL DA 1.1.3.) We have to store data in a mysql database - we can´t use ZODB because we need the data accessible by other programs via ODBC. We habe implemented several ZClasses like "customer", "product" and "orders". We store their instances (eg. each product, customer and so on) to the mysql-database. Our problem: we can´t use the standard ZOPE management interface to manage the objects, because the methods of this interface store content to the ZODB - and not to the mysql-database. Is there a way to extend the standard ZOPE management interface with additional mysql statements? For example: we select an object in a zope folder, press the ZOPE Delete-Button, then this object is deleted on the mysql-database, not on the ZODB? For each zclass (customer, products, orders) we need these extra methods (Delete, Update, Insert ...), so our thought is that we would prefer to use the ZOPE management interface to do this instead of programming "extra methods" which obviously can't be used within the standard ZOPE management interface. Hope there is somebody out there with an similarly problem solved. best regards Ruediger ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ http://www.herrenausstatter.de - Der Online-Herrenausstatter Kostenlose Serviceline: 0800 -999 66 33 Versandkostenfreie Lieferung - 30 Tage Rückgaberecht ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Verwaltungsadresse: DePauli.com Aktiengesellschaft Stahlgruberring 3 - 81829 München Telefon: 089 / 530 75 170 - Telefax 089 / 514 50 666
