Re: [Zope] Zope and Windows DB's = NOT! ?

2000-11-14 Thread Mark Pratt

hello andy, hello all others who answered my post,

first of all thank you for letting me know the positive
experiences you have had with the ODBC adaptor and your
various installations. i'm relieved that Zope and window's 
DB's do work together -- and this prompted some new 
tests on my part.

their still seems to be a minor issue with an error message 
the first time we query a MS SQL 6.5 DB. a few reloads later 
everything seems to work fine. kind of weird.

guess the only major thing left is the single thread issue.

thanks again,

mark

wow. we've had exactly the opposite experience and judging

this was an option we discussed at systems. this adaptor
seems to be continually improved and well supported.

[Zope] Zope and Windows DB's = NOT! ?

2000-11-14 Thread Mark Pratt

hi,

is anybody successfully using a Windows DB such as MS SQL
server 7 with Zope? 

it seems that the ODBC adaptor is ancient and very error 
prone  so can i conclude that Zope and DB integration 
under windows is not an option?

before people get confused when gijs is referring to 
"databases" in the above statement he`s referring to a 
MetaPublisher version which he and a few other brave members 
of the MetaPublisher mailinglist are currently testing. 
this version gives users a choice whether to store data in 
the ZODB or in an external relational DB. this version will
come with a few other goodies --- but we prefer to keep some 
things a surprise.

[Zope] Re: Update from Beehive ZClass manual ?

FR wrote:

its very difficult for us to say a date like:
august xx, 2xxx -- we are somewhat dependant on factors 
that we have no control over  such as when major revisions 
of the software code for ZClasses get updated. 

we're also trying to incorporate as many customer suggestions
as possible -- in order to do this right it takes time.

> Will you add a part for non beginner, and if yes what one 
> could expect ?

i'm not sure i understand what you mean. the ZClass Tutorial
is not just for beginners. it's designed to give an overview
through practical examples of what ZClasses are and how they
work. this is also relevant to experienced programmers 
who need a quick, well documented, introduction to ZClasses.

if after you finish reading the tutorial have suggestions
on how we can improve it -- we'll review your comments 
carefully. please send these to: [EMAIL PROTECTED] 
a lot of improvements in our documentation wouldn't be 
possible without the excellent feedback we receive on
an almost weekly basis from our customers.

thanks and regards,

mark

we have had several discussions at beehive about making

on a specification which would be followed in all our

wow! we had no idea --- we'll add this note to future

at the last python conference this is a common python
problem also.
