Darin asked:
Is it possible to access an ODBC data source through Zope running under Linux?
I'm getting ready to test such a solution this week. First, we'll try : ODBC Socket Server http://odbc.linuxave.net/ and the accompanying Python Client. This will require some coding, and wrapping the Python Client as an External Method. ODBC Socket Server isn't the most generic approach I've seen, but it is about as simple as such stuff can get. If that one doesn't pan out, it's on to : SQLRelay http://www.firstworks.com/site/pages/html/frames.html which is more generic, and even has a Zope Database Adapter. My fallback plan, assuming insurmountable snags with the first two attempts is: FreeTDS http://www.freetds.org/ which is SQL Server specific, and so the least generic of all. Then, if all else fails, we'll have to look at the OpenLink (for $) stuff. OpenLink http://www.openlinksw.com/ I'll let you know how it goes. Later, Jerry S..
