Hi, I am having problem here. I am running Zope 2.0 in my machine with platform Win XP. I have succeed in connecting Zope to mysql database (which is currently held in another machine, Unix server) by using ZODBCDA-3.1.0b2-win32-py21. And A testing table called ‘news’ has been created with following fields: +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | Field | Type | Null | Key | Default | Extra | +-------------+------------------+------+-----+---------+----------------+ | NID | int(10) unsigned | | PRI | NULL | auto_increment | | Name | varchar(100) | | | | | | Subject | varchar(255) | | | | | I then set up a very simple Zsql method as follow : select Name, Subject from news It works fine and will return all correct data only if the Subject value is not long, ie if Subject has value * This is just a test. It will work * This is just a test. This is just a test. This is just a test. This is just a test. This is just a test. This is just a test. This is just a test. Will return the following error Error, sql.error: None Because the ‘news’ table is just for testing, it is rather small. It only has 5 rows of data in total. Hence, I have ruled out the possibility that the returning result is too big. But I could be wrong. It would be great help if someone could give me a direction to solve the above problem. Bonnie
