Hi, I wonder if someone could comment on what they think my problem with the following may be. I have the ZMySQL DA installed, which works fine (I think). Testing my database in UNIX I created a table and populated it with some values. From the 'Test' page of the database connection in Zope I queried this table and it returned the correct values. So the connection string's fine. Now, here is where I ran into problems. Entering the following into the 'Test' page executes no problem. CREATE TABLE STUDENTS ( matric float (7), fname varchar(20), lname varchar (30), uname varchar (8) ) when i try and query it from Zope or Unix (select * from students) I get "OperationalError: (1146, "Table 'lreilly.students' doesn't exist")" and (table lreilly.students does not exist" respectively. I've even tried changing the tablename to lreilly.students but still no luck. Can anyone see what my problem is? Thank you very much in advance. - Best regards, Lee
