RE: Object databases for Squeak

You might take a look at Jonathan Carlson's MinneStore OODB, at http://www.mneta.net/~joncrlsn/minnestore/. I don't think it's been ported to Squeak yet but it might not be too difficult to get it running. Bob Jarvis The Timken Company >-----Original Message----- >From: Alejandro F.

I'm not promising that I'm working on anything, but I have some questions on OODB integration. Consider an OODB which contains objects and schema. The question is how to integrate this nicely into Squeak. Ideally I would like to dynamically create the schema on-the-fly as the references are followed. I think this should be easy. Is this correct? And a supplementary question: given a client-server OODB, where the objects live on the server, do you want to write server-side methods in Squeak? -----Original Message----- From: Alejandro F.

Is anyone working on ObjectDatabases for Squeak? With ObjectDatabases I mean, pure & transparent object storage of active objects. Has anyone worked on a disk-based Squeak VM ? Ale.

Method names

Hi. Messages usually have the arguments last. Wouldn't it be nice to have messages that could have arguments between a phrase? Example: aBitStream next: 40 bits Here, bits is a nop. In this way, things get written more clearly and yet they don't become complex (like implementing the nop method #bits in Integer). Or maybe another pattern of keyword message, keyword+nops. The nop can be identified and ignored by the compiler (and humans) if a proper text attribute is used, for instance. The example without the nop method names gets like this: aBitStream next: 40 Or maybe: aBitStream nextBits: 40 which is not nice. These nops could be called something like parameter descriptors... does this go against polymorphism and the untyped Smalltalk??? Andres.

Another possibility is George Bosworth, father of the Digitalk VM, who joined MS last year, if memory serves Sam S.

That could be where Microsoft got their first Java VM. The timing seems just about perfect. -- John
