RE: [Zope] Is there a DB2 adapter ?
There is none that I know, but you can certainly use ODBC. I have no idea how the Zope ODBC adapter works on Unix, but there are DB2 ODBC drivers for both Windows and Unix. On Unix, expect to pay dearly for it. OpenLink provides some drivers for free under a limited "personal use" license -- max two connections iirc. DB2 is an excellent database. Support for it would have great. -- Alexander Staubo http://www.mop.no/~alex/ "He could open a tin of sardines with his teeth, strike a Swan Vestas on his chin, rope steers, drive a steam locomotive and hum all the works of Gilbert and Sullivan without becoming confused or breaking down in tears." --Robert Rankin, _The Book of Ultimate Truths_

Hi again,
for a project of mine, I am going to use Zope with a DB2 database engine. Is there any (even really sketchy) form of support for DB2 under Zope ?
If not, is anyone interested in this project ?
Thanks in advance
Paolo

I worked for OpenLink, and although I didn't do work on the DB2 driver myself I know that the DB2 ODBC driver is very close to a no-op, because DB2's interface is very similar (inherited from X/Open SQL Access Group CLI, ,the inspiration for ODBC as well). If paying OpenLink is a problem (I cannot comment on the quality of their product, I left almost two years ago) I think that converting Python or Zope's ODBC backend to DB2 would be fairly trivial, especially because you're not likely to use the more funky stuff like scrollable cursors and other ODBC 3.0 "goodies" from Zope.
