I think I suggested something on the list before that might be a good idea, if someone would write a DA for it, but there is some XML-over-HTTP-based protocol using IIS that SQL server 2000 works with as well as TDS. I can't imagine it is as fast (since there is XML-parsing overhead on both ends), but I saw that someone created a library with a Python DB 2.0 compliant interface to access this, based upon the MySQLdb code, adapted for use with SQL Server 2000... I'd write a DA for this myself, Since I don't use M$ $QL, perhaps this is best left to someone who acutally has and uses the SQL Server 2000 software... http://pyxsqmll.sourceforge.net/ Sean -----Original Message----- From: Tille, Andreas [mailto:TilleA@rki.de] Sent: Friday, November 09, 2001 2:15 AM Cc: Zope user list Subject: [Zope] Connecting to MS SQL Server Hello, is it possible to connect to a MS SQL Server from Zope running on a Linux box? Any experiences / documentation? I just found a hint in the Zope book: ODBC ODBC is a cross-platform, industry standard database protocol supported by many commercial and open source databases. The ODBC DA is written and commercially supported by Digital Creations.
