Heh, that's a good one.
telling me that MySQLdb-0.1.0 is now in beta and can be downloaded. Is this adapter file to be used instead of ZMySQLDA? I can't find a new adapter for MySQL3.23. Is there an alternate approach to using MySQL databases? Should I use the postrgreess database adapter?
Okay, my DB API v2.0-compatible interface for MySQL-3.22 and Python-1.5.2 is available at: http://starship.python.net/crew/adustman This by itself will not let Zope use it. You also need ZMySQLDA, which you should find somewhere on www.zope.org. BUT, you also need to apply the patch for ZMySQLDA which is in the MySQLdb distribution; otherwise ZMySQLDA uses an older MySQL interface (MySQLmodule-1.4) which is designed for MySQL-3.21. Note: There may be yet another bug in my ZMySQLDA patch, or it may be in _mysql; I haven't decided which it is yet, but it has to do with the column types which are returned in some situations (NOT NULL columns). -- andy dustman | programmer/analyst | comstar.net, inc. telephone: 770.485.6025 / 706.549.7689 | icq: 32922760 | pgp: 0xc72f3f1d
