Hi all,

I am a newbie to zope as well as to python. I want to know if i can connect to a MS-SQL server database using python script from with in zope. I tried to import 'odbc' in the python script (from zope) and i got an error message saying "import 'odbc' is unauthorised".

My code is:

import odbc db=odbc.odbc('mydatabase') cursor=db.cursor() cursor.execute('select * from mytable') for i in fetchall() print i return printed

I am a bit confused as to how to do this from zope. Is there a odbc library in zope that i have to import? i need some kind of help...

You need to install ZODBCDA, then create a Z ODBC Database Connection from the Add menu. Configure it to access your MS-SQL. Search the mailing list archives if you have trouble with this. After this, you may make whatever ZSQL Methods you wish to interact with the SQL engine. -- Jim Washington
