<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I've tried absolutely everything I can think of -
sqlvar tags of type string and nb, trying cast(... as blob) in the sql (doesn't

any dtml variables at all, and it won't accept it. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>From what I've read elsewhere, there are tools in

If you don't mind doing that, I'd really appreciate it.
Nothing I seem to be trying to install at the moment seems to be working.
As with Phil, mine is from a Plone install, but I have got other versions of
Python elsewhere, (I think there's even an old Zope standalone instance
still lurking somewhere, altho I don't think it can run) just to confuse
matters.
Anyway, my Zope is even older - 2.6.1, so hopefully it'll be compatible.
Thanks very much again for your help.
Ashley

<BLOCKQUOTE type="cite"><PRE wrap="">Hi Phil & Ashley,
I also have kinterbasedbDA working on Windows. It is with an older
version of Zope (2.6.4). The DA version is 1.1.1.1. The kinterbasdb
version is 3.0.1. It uses a dll called _kinterbasedb.dll, instead of a
pyd. I don't remember the exact installation process anymore, but I
think I just grabbed it from another working site. If you like, I could
zip it up and send it to you.
The site uses blobs (all sub_type text) in many places, so maybe
older/other versions don't support this as well.

Unfortunately I'm on Windows, which I'm guessing contributes to the

been happily using it for some time, and haven't had any issues at all
(BTW, I don't use LDAP and KInterbaseDA has never mentioned it!). The
only problem I had at install time was getting my head around the
distinction between the Python part and the Zope DA part.
