[Re: [Zope-DB] Connecting to MySQL DB from infoForm / infoAction]

[Paul Resnikoff]

Thanks Martin.  I got every step to work except "use it =

from within your action file"  Can you suggest code to insert in the acti=
on
file to add info to the mysql table?

Do I get it right, you're simply asking how to store some data in a =

database from within Zope?
Well, then you should read the Zope Book, chapter 12 (Relational DB =

Connectivity). A short outline: you set up the Database Adapter for your =

DBMS (MySQL), create the tables needed, create a Z SQL Method and use it =

from within your action file (preferably a Python Script, that's the =

easiest way).
