Reading the Zope book about relational databases, (I need to do the same thing you are doing) I see that I must install MySQL DA. The Chapter about relational data bases has examples of some connection strings for PostGres. Here is a URlL for ZmyslqDa http://www.zope.org/Members/mordred/ZMySQLDA Here is a somewhat dated howto install the Mysql DA on SUSE 6.5 Linux http://lists.suse.com/archives/suse-linux-e/2000-Aug/0156.html I have SUSE 7.1 with the mysql and zope that came with the package. Hope this helps. Jens Benecke wrote:
Hi,
I've played a bit with Zope, read a load of HOWTOs and intros etc. and like it so far, but I haven't found a documentation source where to look up the "simple" things, like how to connect to a MySQL database. e.g. the ZMYSQL connector wants a "connection string" - what is that (authentication?) how is it formatted etc?
Is there a tutorial how to set up a simple (external) database-driven webpage (something like a guestbook or table editor)? That might help me get going.
Thanks!
