A comment to the paragraph below was recently added via http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Books/ZopeBook/current/RelationalDatabases.stx#2-9
---------------
In order to use your relational database of choice from Zope, you must
download and install the database adapter for your specific relational
database. Database adapters can be downloaded from the "Products
section of Zope.org":http://www.zope.org/Products/ The exception to
this is Gadfly, which is included with Zope. All the examples in this
chapter use Gadfly, but the procedures described apply to all
databases.

I know that this request is probably beyond the scope of this book and more work than the authors wish to do,
but I tell you it would be a wonderful service if you would go through step by step how to download and
install a database adaptor for postgresql. It would be nice to explain how to do it for a zope installation
that runs on the Linux and windows platforms. This information is absolutely nowhere. There are hints all
over the place about zpopyDA and zpypqslgDA and zpsycoDA but nowhere is it comprehensively explained. You can
download stuff all day long but there are no instructions on how to get it to work.
