If I had the license money to pay for Oracle for a production project, I would choose Oracle over MySQL or PostgresSQL myself; with IBM's DB2 coming in second on my list of choices. Generally, I think the Zope DA's for MySQL, PostgreSQL, and Oracle are fairly stable (those are free adapers). The free (from Zope Corp) ODBC adapter is rather old, and has some serialization flaws (it is not fully multithreaded). However, mxODBC and associated Zope DA is quite robust, although there is a nominal fee for mxODBC used commercially I believe. Generally, you are working with an existing database, not spec'ing out a new one. Since so many people are happy with mySQL, I'd suggest you get your feet wet there, and leave future "mega expansion to the terrabyte range" decisions for later. I think that mySQL can handle tables of a million rows without too much difficulty, although I'm not a mySQL expert. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Lars von Wedel" To: Sent: Wednesday, February 06, 2002 7:03 AM Subject: [Zope-DB] Database and Adapter for Zope > Hello, > > I'm planning to build an intranet information portal about > people, projects, publications, etc. I wonder, which database > among those connected to Zope is well-suited if the amounts > of access and data are growing. > > I considered SQL Server, Oracle, mSQL, or PostGres as suitable > alternatives, any preferences on those? > > In what state are the corresponding database adapters for Zope? > Stability?

passed to the Z SQL Method.

I have spent about couple hours having a hunt around the web for a 
python script I can "recycle" into doing this for me by no luck yet.

Two questions;

1) is my idea of processing the field with a script so i can get new 
line data from a <textarea> form through to a mysql 'text' field along 
the correct path? Or is there something simpler that I have overlooked 
to do this without needing scripting.

2)  Assuming the script is the right thing to do does anyone have a 
script that already does this they can email me?

I just noticed that after calling a SQL method, I can refer to the selected
columns by variables either in all uppercase or all lowercase, or mixed case
where I have specifically named a column in mixed case.  Should it do this?
I would have expected it to just pass the result in whatever case the column
name actually is, i.e uppercase unless explicitly defined otherwise.

Hi!

I *think* that this is a consequence of the fact that column names in SQL
are not case sensitive normally. For example, in Oracle you explicitly have
to name your colums in mixed case for them to be mixed case:

create table "MonKey" (
  "wrEnch"         varchar2(2),
  "l33tSPeaK"      number(2,2),
  NoMatterWhatCase varchar2(10)
)

the column NoMatterWhatCase can be accessed as NOMATTERWHATCASE or any other
combination of small/caps but not the other two columns. i believe this is
true for Postgress as well, but am not sure and, frankly, I haven't bothered
to check ;)

Hope this helps,

/dario

Yes, I verified this in PostgreSQL, and it's even mentioned in the 
documentation ;^) . You have to use double quotes if you want case sensitivity.

Yes, and no.  That is what happens, but it's not really true to say =
that the
column names are case insensitive.  In the example, the column names =
are
"wrEnch", "133tSPeaK" and "NOMATTERWHATCASE".  If you don't quote a =
column
name then it will be uppercase.  When you write a select statement =
against
the table, then again any column names that you don't quote will be
converted to uppercase, so any mixed case form of NoMatterWhatCase =
without
quotes will find the column, but for the others, if you don't quote the
column names it will look for WRENCH and 133TSPEAK.

I guess that Zope or DCO2, or whatever is doing it, is just trying to =
be
nice and to go some way to making it look like this sort of behaviour.
However I would have thought that it is more trouble than it is worth.  =
For
instance, it makes it possible for someone to get the results of the =
SQL
method, do something to modify one of the variables, then refer to =
another
case form of the variable name and wonder why it hasn't changed. =20

Still I guess even if someone thought it should change, it would break
existing code if it did, so I guess it's pointless.  I just thought I'd =
ask.

No, the rubbish isn't in my signature, it gets added by Outlook Server =
after
I've sent it.  I wish I could get rid of it, but I can't.

Yes, the Result.py file in Shared/DC/ZRDB has casts of column names to 
lower and upper case for aliasing. It's not really part of DCO2, but is 
there to prevent column naming inconsistencies in application programs. 
 Most RDBMS cast column names to upper case, and so if the aliasing 
wasnt there you'd never be able to use "<dtml-var column>" rather you'd 
have to have "<dtml-var COLUMN>" and that would drive people bonkers.

Yes, by some clever notion that they can create a binding contract by 
simply notifying you of terms, lawyers (largely in the UK) have been 
tacking those annoying messages on to mail for a few years.  They're 
largely unenforceable unless you have a business relationship with the 
other party.  The fact that it is applied to emails where it clearly 
doesn't belong weakens its validity in my mind as well -- it implies 
there is editorial control being exerted at the server which to me 
engenders a more hightened liability than would otherwise be the case.

Hi, I'm pretty new to Zope and MySQL and I have some problems yet....

I tried to put new data rows into our MySQL database via the Z MySQL Database 
Connection /  Z SQL Method.

When I test the Z SQL Method I get the following error-code - table and 
column names altered to dummy names here:

Error, _mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1136, "Column count doesn't match 
value count at row 1")
SQL used:
insert ignore into dummy(silly_id, silly1, silly2, silly3, silly 4, silly 5, 
silly6, silly7, silly8, silly9, silly10, silly11, silly12, silly13, 
silly14)values('5000','','','','','','',''  '','','','','','',  '')

I really don't know what the problem is.... I tried to put new data rows 
directly to the database via the mysql-prompt and it works without any 
problems.

Any ideas how to solve this problem?

It looks to me like you're trying to insert into 14 silly arguments but 
only providing 13 nulls. (or there is a comma missing)

Subject: [Zope-DB] DCOracle2: oci.h with 8i Client install?
Message-ID: <LAW2-F61FmSC6Lidd3t0000bec2@hotmail.com>

Hi. I am trying to install the DCOracle2 adapter. I am using Zope 2.5.0 with 
Python 2.2 on a RedHat 7.2 platform. I have installed the Oracle 8i Client 
and properly tested it successfully. When I go to run "make" to build the 
binary, I get an error towards the end of the script which says the 
following:

                ---------------------------------------
There were errors building the dco2 module.  This could be because of a
coding error in the dco2 module, or because your Oracle environment is
not set up properly.  Please double check that your Oracle environment is
properly established, and that the proper header files exist (e.g.
$ORACLE_HOME/rdbms/demo/*.h).

After speaking with my Oracle DBA about the missing oci.h file, he informed 
me that the file is only installed if you do a server installation of Oracle 
(v8.1.7). According to all the resources I've read, Oracle 8i Client is all 
that's needed to connect Zope with my Oracle database (which is on another 
server).

Have I misunderstood the requirements? If not, any thoughts as to how to 
resolve this issue? When I restart the Zope server and go through the 
management console, ZOracleDA is listed as an Available Object, but an error 
is thrown if I click on the link. So at least Zope is picking up the 
directory fine.

Thanks in advance.

Dave.

Hi Dave,

You have to have the client headers installed to be able to compile your own
version of the file "dco2.so".  I provide binaries for Python 1.5.2 and
Python 2.1(.2) but not Python 2.2.

You can either:

Use Python 2.1 and the prebuilt binary, *or*

copy the rdbms/demo, plsql/demo and one other ..../demo directories from
where the server lives to your RedHat platform so that you can build the
adapter, *or*

beg me pretty please to build a Python 2.2 version of the module (which just
makes more work for me and so I resist the latter).

Hello.

Is it possible to have Zope on Linux interact with MS SQL Server?  The few 
references I've found in my search for information are about ZODBC, which 
supposedly is only for Zope on Windows.

Thanks for any information.

The problem is that ZSQL methods have a parameter called max_rows that is 
1000 by default, because that's what the default is for the underlying Python 
interface.  Adding the LIMIT bit to the LAST_INSERT_ID() call makes the 
syntax invalid, as you can tell.

The solution is to pass in max_rows as 0, which will prevent the appending of 
the 'LIMIT' bit to your SQL code.  I'm not sure if I should really say 
'parameter' and 'pass in', because it's not exactly a parameter like the 
normal parameters you pass in.  Whatever you want to call it, it's done 
something like this:

<dtml-comment>
connection_id : your_connection
arguments: arg1 arg2 some_more_args_if_you_want
max_rows: 0
</dtml-comment>
SELECT LAST_INSERT_ID() AS last_insert_id

Hope that helps :)

I can't think of any way to do it like that, but I could be wrong....

Can't you just count the records with a SELECT COUNT() first?

i'm a new subscriber to the list and the netiquette impose me to say
something like

<netiquette>
 hi, i'm giorgio, i'm 25, from italy, i'm a zope web developer since the
middle of the last year.
 i work as a sysadmin and web developer, and you can see my best works at
www.mentelocale.it, www.palazzocicala.it , www.millenniumsim.it ; these are
the result of the work of the team i administrate. Ouch, they're all in
italian... sorry :-)
</netiquette>

this is my problem: i'm writing a python script to handle the publishing of
some adv banners, using zope 2.5.0, postgresql 7.0.3, python 2.1.2, on my
linux slackware 2.4.17. I'm using psycopg as DB adapter.

everything is ok but the speed : the problem, i think, is due to the fact
that the script itself opens and closes a connection to the DB everytime
it's called; i'd like to pass the script something like an handle of a DB
connection created in zope, but i cannot realize how to pass this handle...

now i do:

conn = psycopg.connect(conn.string)
  curs = conn.cursor()

but i think i need something like:

conn = self.banners_db
  curs = conn.cursos()

(banners_db is the name of an active connection inside zope)
the first row doesn't give any error, but the second does .... where am i
wrong ?
Will it be different if i use a "Python (Script)" instead of an "Ext Method"
?

tnx to all for your help
have a nice day

Just a quick question.  I'm working on learning Catalogs but am having 
some issues with them.  My friend is working on the postgresql 
integration with Zope, because of file size/backup issues.

I've checked the archives, but can't find anything in here about the 
differences between them in terms of advantages/disadvantages.

Can someone help me out with the proper usage of each?

Thanks,

J Metz

The easiest way would be to use a Z SQL Method inside your
Python Script.

I think you will find examples in the Zope book.
If not, you definitely find some in the mailing list archives.

Hi,

I am fairly new to zope and your help is appreciated as i do not have a
clue 
as to how i should go.

We are presently running our web site on zope 2.4.3 installed on Red Hat
6.2

What i would like to do is as follows.

1. Create a database in zope
2. There will be a web form where by data entered will go straight into
the database
3. A separate web page where by all the entered values come up in a
tabular form for    students to access.

What's the best possible way of doing this??

Once again your help is appreciated.

Cheers
Godwin

Subject: [Zope-DB] sqlgroup queries
Message-ID: <NGBBKLBENKJDKEHIHPGHKEBJCAAA.cnantais@rednaxel.com>

I have created a search form where users can enter as much info as they have
to narrow down a search. The variables are: first_name, last_name, city,
province.  The query i am currently using only returns a record when all
fiels are filled in and correctly match the query. However, if some fields
are left blank, I want the query to return results that most closely match
the fields that had values entered. Here's the current code:

## arguments are: first_name, last_name, city, province
SELECT * FROM customer
<dtml-sqlgroup where>
 <dtml-sqltest first_name op=like type=string optional>
 <dtml-and>
 <dtml-sqltest last_name op=like type=string optional>
 <dtml-and>
 <dtml-sqltest city op=like type=string optional>
 <dtml-and>
 <dtml-sqltest province op=like type=string optional>
</dtml-sqlgroup>

Basically, if the form field "city" is left blank, I want it excluded from
the search criteria.

Thanks.

Use type=nb instead of type=string in the sqltest.  I think the
documentation in the Zope book has been slightly ammended in the latest
version, but it still doesn't make this clear enough.

Uhhhhm, dare i ask another question? What is the correct way (if any) to
insert "Asc"/"Desc" arguments in a SQL statement? using dtml-var migth =
not
be clever, since you could insert hostile code, and dtml-sqlvar quotes =
the
values so it inserts 'DESC' instead of DESC.

Just do not pass any part of the actual SQL you will use in REQUEST, and 
you should be fine.
Probably easiest in this case would be to pass a flag that means 
ascending, then use some dtml in your ZSQL Method like this, or 
something similar:

<dtml-if sort_order_asc>ASC<dtml-else>DESC</dtml-if>

Use type="nb" for non-blank strings.  The optional test will ALWAYS 
succeed for strings.

Hi,

I'm new to zope.  I have been through the tutorial.  I have created some
simple db applications using the gadfly.  I'm ready to use another database.
I have a mySQL on a windows2000 installed.  Can I get some help in getting
the right driver and connecting it to zope 2.5?  Thanks for your support.

There are people able to know before hand what you will need
in some months...

You find their thoughts in the mailing list archives.

There are several threads about ZODB/Catalog versus external
relational databases.

You want to look into the Zope Book...

I am sure you will find examples of what you are looking for.

In a very brief nutshell: ZCatalogs will give you fairly sophisticated
natural-languagesque searching; ZCatalogs will be slower; ZCatalogs will
bloat your Zope Data.fs

PG will require that you write the search piece yourself; PG can be much
faster (assuming you have good indexes on your tables and/or cache your
tables); PG data need only be in PG.

Why not read the old threads then tell us more about what you want to do?
