<Beginner Question> I'm trying to add a database connection to a site (my first one). I tried adding a SQL Method and am told I need to add a Zope Database Connection. I can't find that in the list of available objects. Can someone direct me to a resource that explains how? It's not mentioned in the quick start guide. I'll be using an Access or SQL Server Database. Oh yeah...and what the heck is a Z Gadfly Database Connection? Thanks, Joel Grimes joelgrimes@hotmail.com ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com

Actually, you did: Z Gadfly Database Connection. It is *one* example of the generic class of objects "Zope Database Connection". To get other examples listed in the dropdown, you have to install the corresponding Products. So in your case you need a database driver and database adapter that will let you talk to Access or SQL Server. I *think* the one you are looking for is the ODBC driver and DA, but I've only used Oracle and PostgreSQL myself, so I don't know for sure. Gadfly, by the way, is a minimalist implementation of an SQL database that is stored entirely in the ZODB. Useful for testing and perhaps for very small databases. --RDM
