[Zope] Is there any Microsoft SQL Server native driver for Zope?

[Tim Hawes]

If your Zope is running on Windows, I think your best option is to use 
ODBC. If Zope is running on another platform, the only solution I have 
seen is to get FreeTDS compiled on your system (www.freetds.org), then 
you will need to compile Firstworks' (www.firstworks.com) SQLRelay 
(excellent product for load balancing databases, anyhow) and compile it 
with FreeTDS support. Set up SQLRelay to connect to MS SQL Server, you 
can test this connection directly with SQLRelay. The Zope package for 
SQLRelay comes with SQLRelay. It is not very direct as you have to 
define your SQL server connection in three different places. In FreeTDS, 
in SQLRelay and in Zope. I have not tried this setup, but I can say that 
I have only heard good things from those who have.
