[Zope] DCOracle for 8.1.5 (8i)

Hello,

	I agree that external rdbms is a must have, but when you see that every single release of Oracle -for example from 8.0.5 to 8.1.5, that is from Oracle 8 to Oracle 8i- the libs change and you have to change several things in the DCOracle, I don't know if it's a good business.

	And currently you can install the 8.0.5 client libs on your Zope machine and an Oracle 8i on a Server and you can use DCOracle without problems.

	Cheers,

/B

Hmmm.... I would think external rdbms support is crucial to the future
success of the product. If you had to pick one rdbms to support, wouldn't a
current Oracle be a good choice? Zope is a great product, but if there is to
be no 8i support it will force me to use something else. Currently we are
running Zope on a win2k box connected to a debian 8i box, but the hope has
really been get zope off Windows.

I think you should guys should consider revisiting the issue. You can
download 8i from the technet site to get an idea how much work it will take.
I'm sure someone spent considerable time making the existing oracle adapter
work, it might not be that bad to make it work against 8i.
