[Zope] SAP DB with Zope?

[Daniel Dittmar]

There isn't one yet, although it is on my private list. It will be
difficult to make it run on Linux, though, because

- a SAP DB client connection isn't allowed to be taken across a fork ()
(otherwise two process could use the same connection)
- Linux assigns new process ids to threads, so a SAP DB client believes
there was a fork () when there was only a change of thread (anyone got a
solution to that one?)
- you could try the ODBC DA, but I hadn't much luck with that one
