Does the same apply to Zope ? I.e. if I am using ODBC/Access in my 'prototype', and Oracle in my full-blown application, is it sufficient to have a connection ID with the same name to insure portability ?
You can't count on Oracle and Access being fully compatible in their syntax, even using odbc. Each and every query will have to be checked. It may or may not work without changes, depending of course on those pesky details. Even the connection string may turn out to be different so a connection with the same name may or may not work, either. In other words, test before committing. On the other hand, they'll probably be ***close***, so it won't be like starting from scratch again even if things don't quite work. Cheers, Tom P
