Yes, but I'm not sure which.

Say I have a DA, myDA, in my portal root and I have content type that  
needs to access this to store some attributes in an external  
database, how do I get hold of it?

import Aqcuisition

class MyContentType():
	def set_connection(self):
		self.connection = Acquisition.ac_aquire('myDA')

raises an AttributeError

I realise that this is probably down to me not getting Aqcuisition  
but this looks like how it should work going on the description of  
Aquisition.
