[Zope] Zope Proxy Objects

[Chris McDonough]

Hi Chris,

There is a project called SQL Relay which I believe has this capability.
See http://sourceforge.net/projects/sqlrelay/ (which does tell you to go to
http://www.firstworks.com/sqlrelay.html but it's down at the moment for me).

> I would like to build a Zope proxy, one of the "special kind".
> The problem:
> I have a database which has a free ODBC driver for Windows
> only, and the client database which I want to access is also
> living on Windows. Accessing it works fine with Zope's ZODBCDA.
>
> The problem is now that our real Zope application must run under
> Linux, and I would like to use the same database there.
> So my ide was to have a small Zope running under Windows which
> attaches to the database, and for the real Linux server,
> I would write some proxy methods that makes the server think
> it has direct access to the database.
>
> Does anybody know whether something similar already exists?
> I know the Zope proxy, but I'd like to do a little more,
> something like a ZPROXYDA, which redirects everything to
> a different server.
> Does my approach make sense, or is there a simpler way?
> I cannot use any paid software since this project must stay
> completely open-source.
