Hi, I am developing a Zope web application which relies on an existing Database (MaxDB, formerly SAPDB) Client written in C++. This client accessed my database via ODBC (on UNIX). My web application should on one hand access the database directly via a Zope Database Adapter and on the other hand use functions from this C++ Client which also accesses the database. (Some functions of this C++ Client are compiled as a library which can then be called from Zope). What I now need is a way to access my Database over one Database connection. What I am thinking of is to use some Zope Database Adapter that uses ODBC, and give the database handle to my C++ functions. My problem is: How would I get the ODBC Database handle from the Zope Database Adapter object? Is this easy to do? Will I run into problems by doing this? Moreover I don't know if there's a ODBC Database adapter available which is compatible to Zope and to MaxDB. There is a MaxDB Zope DA available but this does not rely on ODBC. Then there is this commercial mxODBC available but I don't know if it supports MaxDB. Can you give my some hints?
