---------------

    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.
