What I did in a similar situation was to install a "slave" Zope instance on the PC with the database (or on any PC machine on the same network) and access the database thru Windows ODBC drivers. Then the main Zope server uses RPC (Client.py, XML-RPC, ...) to get the data from the "slave" server. Not elegant, but it works. -- Loren

Hello,

I'm looking for a way to enable our (Debian) Linux-based Zope installation to connect for some very simple (read-only) interaction with a FileMaker Pro database that is available via ODBC.

I'm wondering what others have used to do something like this. I realize that there are commercial 'bridge' products out there that will make the connection, but as far as I can see, there isnt an ODBC DA for Linux. Is there any workaround? Or does anyone have any suggestions, or experience with any method that they would be willing to share?

Thanks. Chris Beaumont cbeaumon@msri.org
