[Zope] setup for an odbc connection!

[Jim Sanford]

you should be able to access the dbf file with the Microsoft dBase ODBC
driver. you would need to set up a system DSN for it:

Start-Settings-Control Panel
Select  ODBC
Select System DSN
Click Add
Select Microsoft dBase Driver(*.dbf)
Click Finish
Give it a Data Source Name
Enter a Description if you wish
Select version (III, IV 5.0)
Select a Directory (c:\dbfs)
Select Indexes

Create a ZODBCDA connection to the system DSN (it should appear in the
dropdown in the ZODBCDA create screen)

You would refer to the file in your SQL statement in a ZSQL method:

SELECT * FROM cass WHERE mailer_id = 'MetroMail'
