No, as they'd be different architectures. If you had a Sun Oracle installation, you could build it against that on the web server and still access it remotely (probably).
So if I wanted to go this route, I'd have to install Oracle on the web server, compile the DA (as static, I imagine?) remove Oracle, and then use it against the same version of Oracle on the HPUX box?
yuck. Plus, this box is the live webserver, so I dunno how popular I'd be with this move...
Can't I do something more simple and stupid... an ODBC connection or an external python method that passes SQL queries to the server? I'm not trying to do the all singing all dancing routine, just some queries.
Your best bet would probably be to install a secondary Zope on the HP box. It's not an easy route, but it appears to be the best of a bad choice. -Dom -- ********************************************************************** This email and any files transmitted with it are intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom they are addressed.
