Oracle's a bit more finicky, and wants a bunch of files in $ORACLE_HOME to be present before it will play nicely. At a minimum, you'll want $ORACLE_HOME/network/admin/tnsnames.ora, and quite possibly a number of the $ORACLE_HOME/.../mesg/ directories. Anthony

My feeling would be that you can do just that, I speak from experience of the MySQL DA of course so I may be wrong about the Oracle DA.

I have compiled the MySQL DA on a machine without Zope and then move the library to the Zope Machine and it works fine.

That assumes of course that the machines are the same, i.e. Both Linux or Both NT etc..

Good luck

You just need to connect your current DA to remote database.

thanks, Oleg and Phil, that's quite a relief. Now I'm confused about compiling the ZOracleDA. From what I read there, I need to have python installed on the Oracle machine and build the DA on that machine.

Sun= www server HPUX= Oracle server

Can I just copy $ORACLE_HOME/lib to the sun machine and then build the DA or is there some other voodo I'd have to bring along?

thanks, -- Ethan "mindlace" Fremen you cannot abdicate responsibility for your ideology.
