Z ODBC DA

This is the Z ODBC database adapter product for the Z Object Publishing Environment.

**** IMPORTANT ****

This product is distributed as a BINARY release!

The Z ODBC database adapter is currently available for win32 platforms only. It comes with a compiled ODBC extension (sql.pyd) for win32. You do NOT need to add any external binaries to use this database adapter.

Installation

• Extract the distribution file into the top-level directory of your Zope installation, using a utility such as WinZip.
• Restart your Zope installation.

Connection Strings

In many cases, it is unnecessary to enter a connection string. You can simply select a data source name from the list of data sources presented. You will need to enter a connection string if you need to enter a user id and password to connect to the database. If this is the case, then a connection string of the form:

      dsn user password

should be entered.

VERSION INFO

Be sure to download the proper version of the database adapter - for Zope 2.4, you need the Python 2.1 version of the adapter.
