[Zope] win32 mysql database adapter

[Day Irmiter]

Here is what finally worked for me (under Win98).


To use Zope with a MySQL database under
Windows, do the following.

1. download the following packages.

the MySQL for Windows installer,
version 3.23.39 (or newer) at 
http://www.mysql.com/downloads/.

Andy Dustman's Zope database adapter for MySQL,
version 2.0.8 at
http://www.zope.org/Members/adustman/Products/ZMySQLDA

the python extensions package for MySQL,
version 0.9.0 (or newer) at
http://prdownloads.sourceforge.net/mysql-python/

Isaac Salsberg's BuildMySQLDA package at
http://www.zope.org/Members/isalsberg/MySQLDA/BuildMySQLDA.zip

2. Install MySQL.

3. Decompress the ZMySQLDA package in Zope's root
directory.

4. Decompress the mysql-python package to a temp
directory. From this temp directory, move the
following files to the <Zope_root>\bin directory.

_mysql_exceptions.py
CompatMysqldb.py
The whole directory MySQLdb

5. Decompress the BuildMySQLDA package and move
_mysql.dll to the <Zope_root>\bin directory.

Restart Zope and you should be able to add a new
"ZMySQL DA Connection".
