I'm rather new to Zope and am having trouble getting ODBC connectivity to work. I've downloaded the file "ZODBCDA-3.0.3-win32-x86-python-1.5.1.tar.gz" from the web site, uncompressed it into a file named "sql.pyd" and placed that file in the root of my Zope installation direction. When I try to add a database connection, I don't see a choice of "Aqueduct ODBC Database Connection" or anything similar.
I'm not sure that I'm uncompressing the file correctly. I'm using WinZip and it prompts me for the name of the file to uncompress.
Hi Jeff. Yes, you analyzed to problem correctly. After uncompressing it, you should have a directory lib/python/Prodcuts/ZODBCDA (I think) in your Zope directory. It should contain several files.
Restarting Zope makes it visible in the add list.

In this case WinZip doesn't realize there is a tar file in the gz file. So type 'tar' suffix at the end of the file name when WinZip ask you for a file name. ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤ Kiss Árpád akiss@geometria.hu ¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤¤
