The mxODBC Zope Database Adapter is highly portable, just like Zope itself and provides a high performance interface to all your ODBC data sources, using a single well-supported interface on Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, FreeBSD and other platforms. This makes it ideal for deployment in ZEO Clusters and Zope hosting environments where stability and high performance are a top priority, establishing an excellent basis and scalable solution for your Plone CMS. Product page: http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/ ________________________________________________________________________ NEWS The 2.2.2 release of our mxODBC Zope/Plone Database Adapter product is a patch level release of the popular ODBC database interface for Plone and Zope. It includes these enhancements and fixes: Driver Compatibility Enhancements --------------------------------- * Reenabled returning cursor.rowcount for FreeTDS >= 0.91. In previous versions, FreeTDS could return wrong data for .rowcount when using SELECTs. Fixes ----- * Removed exists() built-in from mxODBC Zope DA's implicit addition of new built-ins via mxTools. This resolves a hard to track bug where the new built-in could potentially override the TAL python:exists function (in e.g. tal:condition="exists:something"). See this Products.CMFEditions fix for an example where the problem surfaced. This is a bug in TAL (it shouldn't give preference to built-ins over its own helpers), but we're providing the fix as easy work-around. The complete list of changes is available on the mxODBC Zope DA changelog page. http://www.egenix.com/products/zope/mxODBCZopeDA/changelog.html mxODBC Zope DA 2.2.0 was released on 2014-12-11.
