[Zope-DB] HELP: sql.pyd in ZODBCDA-Zope2.6.2b3 w/ Python2.2.3 on Win32 fail ing

[Samir Mishra]

There are bureaucratic reasons as to why we can't use mxODBC. I've used
mxODBC and thought it was great. I've already sent Marc (of egenix) an email
in this regard, lest he think I'm not following the mxODBC path because I
didn't like his product.

Thanks all for responding.

I STRONGLY RECOMMEND mxODBC vs ZODBCDA.  The source fo ZODBCDA is 
available, you can compile and build it yourself, but the code hasn't 
been touched in about three years.  I rebuilt it for Python 2.1.3 some 
time ago, but I don't have any plans on recompiling it again for a new 
Python release.
