[Zope] MySQL Adapter threading (was: [Zope] Password screens)

[Jens Vagelpohl]

This is very interesting to hear... I am just about to connect a MySQL
database to Zope 2.0.0a3 using ZMySQLDA. I understand the problem, but how
do I make sure Zope is running single-threaded? As I understand ZServer runs
multithreaded (provided Python is compiled --with-threads) and
ZopeHTTPServer runs on a single thread.

Question: Can I tell ZServer to run with a single thread, and if yes, how
so? Or do I have to use ZopeHTTPServer if I want single thread?
