  Installation

    The Z MySQL database adapter uses the MySQLdb package.  
    This must be installed before you can use the Z MySQL DA.
    You can find this at::

        http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python

    You need at least version 0.9.0. If you are compiling this
    yourself, you must use the same python executable as your
    Zope installation uses, otherwise Zope will not find it.

  Connection Strings
  
    The connection string used for Z MySQL Database Connection
    are of the form::

       database[@host[:port]] [user [password [unix_socket]]]

    or typically just::

       database user password

    to use the default server.
