I'm thinking of changing my setup to a RedHat 7.1 plus Zope setup. I currently have Zope 2.2.0/Python 1.5.2 set up on a windows NT 4 machine which communicates to a database via ZODBCDA. My application accesses a database that must stay on a different Windows NT machine for legacy purposes. My Questions are (1) Can I use my current Data.fs when I set up my Linux machine and (2) Are there ODBC drivers for the Linux install that will read data on an NT machine?
(1) should be no problem, because it uses a platform-independent (but python-specific) format (2) that depends on the particular databases you use :-) But - among the other solutions told here - you can perhaps use the ZEO adapter, and then run the databases on NT, while only the Zope frontend runs on Linux. markus -- You don't have to be Microsoft to suck... but it helps.
