Trouble with ZMySQLDA
<p>There are a few tricks to getting Zope's ZMySQLDA to work with
<tt/_mysql/. But it ain't that hard, really.
Also see the
<htmlurl url="http://www.zope.org/Members/alanpog/zmysqlda_steps"
name="ZMySQLDA HOWTO">.
<sect1>Building ZMySQLDA
<p>
The basic steps are:
<enum>
<item>Install MySQLdb first, so that it's on your <tt/PYTHONPATH/
and Zope can find it.
<item>Untar the ZMySQLDA tarball (available from
<htmlurl url="http://www.zope.org/Members/MikeP/ZMySQLDA"
name="zope.org">).
<item>Patch it with the ZMySQLDA.patch included with the MySQLdb
distribution. In the directory that you did the untar,
<code>
patch -p1 &lt;/path/to/ZMySQLDA.patch
</code>
<item>If you do a make, which is what the ZMySQLDA instructions
tell you, it will try to compile the older
MySQLmodule, which you don't need. Ignore stuff like:
<code>
./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_row':
./MySQLmodule.c:238: warning: assignment from incompatible pointer type
./MySQLmodule.c: In function `pythonify_res_fields':
./MySQLmodule.c:384: invalid lvalue in unary `&'
./MySQLmodule.c: In function `STH_fetchdict':
./MySQLmodule.c:1125: invalid lvalue in unary `&'
./MySQLmodule.c:1147: invalid lvalue in unary `&'
make: *** [MySQLmodule.o] Error 1
</code>
MySQLmodule.c doesn't compile against
MySQL-3.22 without patches. Which is why MySQLdb exists...
<item>Restart Zope. You should have a ZMySQLDA Product in the
Control Panel.
</enum>
<sect1>How do I use it?
<P>I'm not the best person to ask. There are two main steps to getting
started.
<enum>
<item>Create a ZMySQLDA Connection object somewhere.
<item>The connect string syntax is "database@host user password".
If the database is on the same host as the Zope server, you can leave
out @host. You might be able to leave off user and password as well,
depending on your GRANT tables. Whether or not this is a good idea is
another question.
<item>You're on your own. I recommend reading the
<htmlurl url="http://www.zope.org/Documentation/Guides/ZSQL-HTML/ZSQL.html"
name="Z SQL Method's User Guide"> and maybe
<htmlurl url="http://www.zope.org/SiteIndex/search?text_content=sql"
name="searching the Zope website for SQL">.
</enum>
<p>Not supported. By me, at least. There is a new version on
<htmlurl url="http://www.zope.org" name="www.zope.org">
that supports MySQLdb without any patching. Use that.
<sect>Using MySQLdb
<p>
MySQLdb is a
