You'll need ZMySQLDA and the binaries for MySQL-Python. ZMySQLDA can be found at http://www.zope.org/Members/adustman/Products/ZMySQLDA and the MySQL-Python binaries for Windows can be found at http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=22307&release_id=10289 3.

Can any of you help me to install MySQL so that I can use it with Zope on Windows 2000? I see that it *can* be done (and switching to Linux is *not* an option right now), but cannot find instructions on how to put everything together.

I've just done it today. Do a search for MySQL and install the win32 version. Then you need the MySQL for Python. That's the tricky one, it doesn't install unless you tweak the registry beforehand (there's a message in the forum on the sourceforge site that reveals the specifics). Then the ZMySQLDA. It's all really just a matter of searching, installing, searching, installing, searching, installing, etc. NB I'm a newbie so don't take this as authoritative. But, I've got MySQL running as a service on one machine, and the ability to connect to it from another Win2K machine. I've got MyODBC talking to it, but I've not tested the ability to talk to it from Zope yet...
