hi tony, i think in certain circumstances this could happen... when chris petrilli discussed database adapter status we had a thread about thread safety. you might want to search the list archives for stuff on it. jens Jens Vagelpohl Systems Administrator Washtenaw Development Council

the ZMySQLDA adapter works fine with Zope 2.0 (i used it under pretty much every alpha/beta since 2.0.0a3 and now under the final 2.0.0, running on redhat 6), the only gotcha is that you should start Zope with the switch "-t 1" to have it run with one thread. this is because the database adapter is not fully thread-safe.

Does this mean that the MySQL database could be corrupted if I *don't* set '-t 1' when starting Zope? tone ------ Dr Tony McDonald, FMCC, Networked Learning Environments Project http://nle.ncl.ac.uk/ The Medical School, Newcastle University Tel: +44 191 222 5888 Fingerprint: 3450 876D FA41 B926 D3DD F8C3 F2D0 C3B9 8B38 18A2
