Dear List, I installed zope and apache today on a linux box and got it working together. Now I would like to integrate Sybase as an external database. I installed Sybase and then installed the Sybase DA from here: http://www.zope.org/Products/DA/SybaseDA/ Can someone point me at some documentation that will help me get started using Sybase on zope? Specifically, can anybody tell me how to set up a non-gadfly db connection?

The same way; add a SybaseDA connection in the same manner as a Gadfly one.

I've been puzzling over the same thing (though with mysql and postgresql). It seems that certain choices result in non-trivial configurations, requiring one to rebuild parts of python itself (or maybe i just misread the instructions). Anyhow, I share Andrea's desire for more documentation for this step. ~c ~ _______________________________________________ ~ Zope maillist - Zope@zope.org ~ http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope ~ ** No cross posts or HTML encoding! ** ~ (Related lists - ~ http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-announce ~ http://lists.zope.org/mailman/listinfo/zope-dev ) ~

Not to sound/be rude, but how about the install docs? That walks you through getting it installed. In teh case of SybaseDAvb2, it does require compiling the adapter, but not neccesarily python. I (mis?)understood 'installed the SybaseDA' as, it is showing up in the control panel, and isn't broken.
Hi all, first: thanks for all the answers and hints! I know that it's tiring for more experienced users sometimes to see the newbies flocking in and asking questions which answers seem to be too obvious to even mention.

exactly, that was the problem I had! I couldn't find any hint about a sybase product in zope after installing the adapter and restarting zope. It took me one day and then I found the problem: There are two zope folders on my linux machine: /var/zope and /usr/share/zope. I had installed the database adapter into the wrong directory (and I really wonder why there are two --> probably another newbie problem). After installing the adapter in the right directory and restarting zope everything worked and the sybase database connection appeared in the zope products category.
(mis?)understood 'installed the SybaseDA' as, it is showing up in the control panel, and isn't broken.
The problem was that it didn't show up at all, whether broken or not. Anyway, thanks to all a lot so far. Hope I can progess with my Zope experience fast enough to give some help back soon as well!
