Good to know :)

Thanks for your reply. Maybe I'll try to look at this if I'll
have enough time.

We're using mxODBC to connect to Sybase and it
works perfectly, but the problem was with Oracle and it's
stored procedures and input/output variables.

Now we are trying SQLRelay. I've changed SQLRelayDA to
return values just like DCOracle and I've created simple product
that allows to call stored Oracle procedures/functions from Zope
and these SP objects returns values from output variables just like
DCOracle2 does, so maybe it will be possible even to
simply switch from DCOracle to SQLRelay with one click
(one script) :) Simple test says that SQLRelay is faster than
DCOracle2 but it may depend from result size.

This kind of product (SP) may be created for mxODBC
too but it'll not be possible to simply exchange DCOracle
because AFAIR mxODBC supports only cursor binds
from Oracle or something like this.

If somebody is interested in switching from DCOracle2
to SQLRelay, and in my SQLRelaySP
(stored procedures product) please tell me. It is very
first version but any opinions tests etc. should be interesting.

Thanks :)
