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 and linux platforms _only_. It comes with a compiled ODBC
  extension (sql.pyd for win32, sql.so for linux).  Under win32 you
  do NOT need to add any external binaries to use this database
  adapter.  Under linux, you must have installed the Solid
  Technologies SQL commercial database product.

  Installation

    o Extract the distribution file into the top-level 
      directory of your Zope installation.

    o 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.  Under Solid SQL, the dsn is a symbolic name
    defined in your solid.ini file.
