[Zope] ZOracleDA

[Satheesh Babu]

Hi,

If you are running Zope on
1. Linux:
    You need to install Oracle client libraries to compile
     ZOracleDA. As far as I know, Oracle does not give
     any easy way to install only the clients. So, if you've
     enough disk space, install Oracle with the minimum
     DB options, and compile ZOracleDA. You DON'T
     NEED to run Oracle DB on your Zope machine, to
     have zope connect to your actual DB machine.

2. Win NT/2000/98
     You can install only the client libraries from the Oracle CD,
     get ZOracleDA compiled and run Zope.

I've used it both ways. Somewhere on the net there
was a tarred version of client-only-oracle-4-linux. Check
freshmeat.net and gnome.org for some GTK apps
for accessing Oracle. It was there in the homepage
for that suite of apps.
