Something went wrong with your installation.

First of all DCOracleDA needs DCOracle to be installed.
DCOracle contains C code which needs to be compiled.
Have you carefully followed the installation instructions?

If DCOracleDA is in your Products folder, you should see
some problem during startup when it does not work correctly.

Unfortunately, it is quite difficult to get information about
startup problems. Essentially, you need to start Zope in the foreground
and it must not run in production mode.
Under *nix (and Windows with very recent Zope versions), zopectl fg
can be used for this.
Watch out Could not import .

I back ported this connector from a zope3 app.  For the retry, being

which works for zope2.

Maybe there is a better way for zope2, but this works.

A better way would be to raise an exception derived from ConflictError.

Such an exception would cause ZPublisher to perform the Retry

what happened in case, the exception were repeated.

 How do I to do this?
 
 My both Windows and Linux config is following:
 Plone port: 80
 Zope port: 8080
 originally works fine on the each OSs before the migration.
 
 I have tried and copied only Data.fs file from Windows to Linux machines

 Then I have problem with my Plone server running instead Zope of port number 
 8080. 

On Linux (and other *nix systems), only processes running as root can 
bind to ports = 1024 (these are the so called priviledged ports).

Almost surely, the Plone setup for Linux therefore uses port 8080
rather than 80.

*If* you have root rights on your Linux box, then you can
run Zope as root on port 80. You need to change the HTTP port
in Zope's configuration file for this. Furthermore, you need
to set the user Zope should run with after binding to the
port (this is necessary because Zope refuses to run continuously as root --
for security reasons).

Strictly speaking, there is no Unicode charset.

Apparently something in your data flow uses the utf-8 charset

Which differences are between the _mysql python module and the MySQLdb

Could it be the configuation of the vserver? How can it be relationed

Often the database configuration or some environment variable

controls which encoding (aka charset) the client expects for
unicode strings.

There may be differences between your two configurations.

Thanks again for explanations. Seems that I'll change my DA's
(DCOracle2 and ZCxOracleDA) to use connection pool like psycopg
does. After quick look at their (psycopg) solution I think it is really good
and solves (or may solve) few other issues too - like closing
all connections with 'Close connection' button (useless with
_v_ implementation). Implementing reconnect of broken connection
i.e. when database was restarted shouldn't be too difficult too.

Pool based connections can be tricky as well:

   When a DA instance is accessed several times during the
   same request, it *MUST* use the same connection.

   Otherwise, you will get the same hazardous behaviour
   as with _v_ variables being lost, just more often
   and more reliable...

I know that the ZPsycopgDA which comes with psycopg 1.x uses
_v_ variables. I do not know whether that of psycopg 2.x
uses a connection pool and uses it in the correct way.

I only know that the correct connection pool use is tricky...

Not strictly speaking in ZODB:

   It can lead to nasty, apparently non-deterministic effects.
   You may lose your database connection mid transaction

   There are too ways to fix this problem: do not use _v_ attributes

   In our private copy of Zope, I went the second approach

   the same deficiency.

The DBConnId is very strange (None rather than DB_Connection).

Somehow, the tcache and cache variables are inconsistent.

A theoretical possibility would be two different tcache entries
tcache[i1] = tcache[i2] = query.
Then cache[query] would be deleted for the first entry
and the second entry would result in a KeyError.

However, such a case should be impossible...


You might want to use my CCSQLMethods, which is more efficient
anyway (it uses a module level cache rather than a ZODB cache)
and definitely will avoid the problem above.

In light of the above, I don't think it's a GIL problem (without
having a clue what a GIL actually is)

This is the Global Interpreter Lock. It prevents more than
a single thread to run Python code at the same time.

If C code does not access Python data, it may release the GIL
(and than run in parallel with Python code). If it forgets
to release the GIL, then no Python code can run.

or a DCOracle2 problem. Instead,
I think it may be related to Zope's transaction algorithm

This is quite unlikely.

  While Zope cannot concurrently commit more than a single
  transaction (committing is synchronized on a per storage
  level) it can run multiple
  requests while some requests wait on database locks.

  However, should Oracle delay a commit (due to lock contention),
  than Zope may not be able to perform further commits.

  Note, that this would only affect requests that either modify
  the ZODB or an external database.

I'm not sure how threading works in ZOpe, but it
appears that my Zope is dealing with page requests sequentially rather
than in parallel.

That is unusual...

As I indicated before, some have suggested that this
is solved with ZEO.

They err.

As well, I found one post that seemed to be
suggesting the problem had to do with running Zope behind Apache.

It, too, errs.

Do
either of these explanations make any sense?

No.

and it seems that DOracle2 would be the best thing for my needs (I only n=
eed simple inserts and querries, nothing really fancy). But as I see ther=
e is no binary for Python 2.4 and Windows.

DCOracle2 currently has not maintainer.

Maybe, you should look for cx_Oracle (which has an active maintainer).

Obviously, your compiler does not like thing (to be precise:
the implicit conversion between short and unsigned short)
that the author did not expect to hurt compilers (and which
most compilers accept).

Your options:

  *  use a different (less strict) compiler

  *  fix the code (such that even your strict compiler feels happy).

I am a Zope newbie with some Python experience. We have a large amount of

From the Zope interface, how can I access these 'external'

To access additional storages, you use
Products.ZODBMountPoint.MountedObject.MountedObject instances.

Mounting is similar to mounting under *nix.

How to communicate with zope database?

You use Zope (or scripts using the Zope codebase).

the documents that we post in Plone
have id, ya?

There are lots of ids around.

  The id used in Plone is not a universal id, but unique only
  locally in the container. Therefore, you cannot use it
  to identify and fetch an object.

  Modern Plone versions (2.1.x) have documents based on
  AT. There have a universal unique id which can be resolved
  via the uid_catalog into the object.
  Someone else already recommended to read the catalog section
  of the Zope Book (online 2.7 edition). Follow this advice!

  All persitent objects already have a persitent id.
  It is not used at application level (as it is meaningless there).
  The persistent id is the id used by the Zope database.
  When you know the peristent id of an object, you can
  load it from ZODB *BUT* it will behave very differently
  from how you are acoustomed to. That's because you are
  *NOT* working with raw objects in Zope/Plone but with
  acquisition wrappers. A ZODB load gives you instead
  the raw object, which, among other, does not have
  a location, nor an URL nor a parent

Re: [Zope-DB] Closing idle DCoracle2 Connections?

Germer, Carsten wrote at 2005-10-20 11:16 +0200:

As we start to use our zope-Ora connection more frequently our database
administrator complains that he sees a lot of idle conections.

I know theres connection.close() in DCOra2 but does anyone know of a
way to autmatically close a DCOra within Zope when idle soandso long? Or
any other way to adress such a problem?

Modulo bugs, the connection will be closed when
the DA object is flushed from the ZODB cache.

The ZODB cache is controlled by a maximal size (number of objects)
and replaces objects with a least recently used policy.

Usually, there is not need for a sophisticated connection
management. Just do not create unnecessary DA instances.
Modulo bugs, the total number of needed connections
is number of DA objects times the number of worker threads.

If you see more open connections than this value, you see a bug.


Bugs should be fixed and not worked around with more complex
software (complex connection management).

I know that I wouldn't want the connection being closed from Oracles
side as I have read in the mailinglist that DCOracle would still think
the connection is open and generate an error.

The DA catches OperationalErrors and reopens the connection.
It tries to do this transparently (though a bit wrong).

Provided that Zope looks there for its products,
you should see any problems with the import of ZPsycopgDA
in your Zope logfile.

I cannot tell you where the Zope logfile lies on your installation.

But there must be another more efficient way to delete
just the single object in the ZCatalog.

Indeed: If you look at the catalog API (e.g. in the source
or via DocFinder), you will find the uncatalog_object method.

Re: [Zope-DB] Using psycopg directly in Zope Python script

I need to be able to access a Postgresql database directly from Zope

 ...
import psycopg
dbcon = psycopg.connect('host=%s dbname=%s user=%s' % ('dbhost',

You should *NOT* do this because you move outside of Zope's
transaction handling.

Fetch the connection from the DA. It looks somehow like:

  db = DA() # low level connection object
  db._register() # register with Zope's transaction system
  conn = db.db # this is the psycopg connection

Pass the conn into your code.
  
 ...
When run outside Zope, it opens a connection as expected. When run in 
Zope, however, I get thrown out - the browser asks me to enter my user 
name and password again. I get no error message!

Cancel the login dialog and you will get the error message :-)

Does Zope somehow create a restricted environment

PythonScripts are a restricted environment where import is
restricted as well as access to attributes.

But if step 3 fails, I want to undo step 1. 

Provided you use transactional tables (i.e. you use MySQL
in a way that it support transactions), then you only
need to abort the Zope transaction (which happens automatically
when an exception reached ZPublisher).
