[Zope] Oracle DB Connection

[Philipp Auersperg]

Did you also build the *DCOracle* package that is needed by the ZOracleDA?

you have to exactly follow the build instructions that come with this package. 
When you have built it there are two shared libraries:

Buffer.so and oci_.so.

Your traceback says that Buffer cannot be imported, that means python cannot find Buffer.so

Solution:

1. Build the DCOracle package 
2. You have to check that the two .so files are to the *lib/python1.5/site-packes* directory under your Zope 
    main directory

Good luck
