There's a common problem (Google finds many
references) to a missing attribute: 'server_capabilities'
when trying to create a ZMySQLDA connection.

As a workaround, edit db.py (in the ZMySQLDA Product)
so that line 183 is replaced with:

    if hasattr(self.db,'server_capabilities'):
            self.transactions =

self.db.server_capabilities & CLIENT.TRANSACTIONS
else:
self.transactions = 0 #in other words, no
transactions.

And yeah, it could use exceptions :)
