Hey all,

quick question about using database storage in an AT. I have set up the
database connection, it tests out alright, and i have linked the database
connection to my archetype. It works for storing stringfields and
datetimefields. I have two problems:

When I try to store a textfield I get a mimetype error:

 *AssertionError*[...]



The other problem is I have added a line to my AT:

schema['title'].storage=PostgreSQLStorage()



When I try to create an instance I get the error message:

The database connection *Psycopg_database_connection* cannot be found.[...]
however, the database table has been created by plone and an entry in the
table has been created with the right UID and default value for the datetime
field.

Any help on either of these issues would be greatly appreciated

Thanks,

David

Have you gotten past these problems yet ? 

In short, in the first error, it looks like Zope is trying to "do something"
(not
sure exactly what assertion error is) on an object that either does not exist
or does not have the fields/attributes/etc that Zope expects.

In the second error, your object cannot be found, for whatever reason. 
If you have a 

     Psycopg_database_connection (Z Psycopg Database Connection)

in the root of your site and you have renamed it to "myconn" or whatever and
that is the object your are referencing... then it would be hard to say
what the problem is.
