I thought it might be worthwhile to sum up the various points about databases and zope and linux that were made today. Please correct any mistakes and provide any comments you have.

- There is an ODBC DA, but it works only on Windows because there isn't a good ODBC implementation on Linux. This isn't Zope's fault.

I keep hearing this but don't understand the overlooking of Solid. The ZODBCDA recompiled w/o changes for the Solid SQL DB under Linux. Solid isn't free or even cheap, and many disagree with their radical shift in marketing this past year (small developers -> big $$$ developers) but it does exist and it is ODBC compliant. Their manuals are a defacto ODBC reference work. -Jeff Rush
