Using the advice recently broadcast by ldl@LDL.HealthPartners.COM (sorry ldl, don't know your name) I've got ZOracleDA/DCOracle working with Zope2 and Oracle 8.0.5 under RedHat 5.2. Great stuff but .....
But you're not integrated with the transaction manager :-) This would be a MAJOR problem in a real world situation. tpc_begin is the start of a transaction :-) Before the end of the week we will be releasing a Level 3 DA that includes a new release of DCOracle as well, one that fixes a bunch of outstanding bugs, implements better LONG/LONGRAW/LOB support, as well as statement handles, and works all groovy with the Zope. Once we shop Zope2, I'm going to try and focus on getting some documentation for how to write DAs for Zope, and what they have to implement. It probably will also include a little skeleton code that you can use. Chris -- | Christopher Petrilli Python Powered Digital Creations, Inc. | petrilli@digicool.com http://www.digicool.com
