INTRODUCTION
The eGenix mxODBC Zope Database Adapter allows you to easily connect
your Zope or Plone installation to just about any database backend on
the market today, giving you the reliability of the commercially
supported eGenix product mxODBC and the flexibility of the ODBC
standard as middle-tier architecture.
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.

NEWS
We are pleased to announce a new version 2.0.2 of our mxODBC Zope DA
product.
With the patch level 2.0.2 release we have updated the integrated
mxODBC Python Extension to the latest 3.1.1 release, which
includes a number of important workarounds for these ODBC drivers:
* Oracle 10gR1 and 10gR2
* Oracle 11gR1 and 11gR2
* Teradata 13
* Netezza
Due to popular demand, we have also added instructions on how to
install mxODBC Zope DA 2.0 with Plone 4.1 and Zope 2.13 - even though
this combination is not officially supported by the mxODBC Zope DA 2.0
series:
