Hello Casey, we are talking about M$ VFP. I access it with the crappy odbc driver bundled with it. If I close it from the database screen, nothing changes, because the object is still in cache. Dead, but existing. A common ugly practive with VFP is, that you can copy its tables/files to do updates. While copying nobody should have the database or a single table open. So it would ease the thing a lot, if zope would release the database connection after each request. Then the files get closed.

Hello Zopistas,
from time to time, I have to access my database exclusive. So I shutdown zope, do my database work, and then start zope. Can I convince Zope to release the database connection each time, it has processed a request successfully? So I won't have to shutdown zope to do my administration work?
Can you not close the database connection from the DA's management screen? What database are we talking about? -Casey _______________________________________________ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** (Related lists - http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce http://mail.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev )
