Hi Andreas,

you can have a look at the GestionImmo project on SqueakSource. It's a Pier application which tries to map Magritte to Sql in a very simple way. Looking at the source code, I have a method:

GISql>>openConnection | spec | Socket initializeNetwork. spec := JdmConnectionSpec new initialize user: GIUser; password: GIPasswd; host: (NetNameResolver addressForName: GIHost); database: GIDataBase; port: GIPort. connection := JdmConnection on: spec.

I don't remember where JdmConnection comes from but you can probably find out by yourself.

It's from the package that Andreas was talking about (and that is also on SqueakSource).

I don't want to sound stupid, but I use glorp for any database related things, but I don't think it is what you are looking for :)

Well, you certainly can use "SqueakDBX" if you are not afraid of using a very-alpha state package. Oh, wait... the package is MIT licenced, but the library (opendbx) is LGPL, so maybe you have the same problem :)

Cheers, Esteban

Folks -

...

Is anyone out there using Squeak with MySQL? If so, what are you using to connect the two? The only thing that I've found that looks remotely applicable is http://map.squeak.org/packagebyname/mysql but it looks rather outdated (last supported Squeak version appears to be 3.7) and it's licensed under GPL which is an issue.

Any pointers would be greatly welcome. Please note that I'm not looking for a persistence solution - I'm looking for something which I can use to dump a few entries into MySQL so that they can be digested elsewhere.

Thanks,

Also ODBC permit to connect and send commands.

Interesting - where is the code?

I would also recommend ODBCEnh, which lets you use DSN-less connections, and implements doesNotUnderstand to look for common types of field names in the collections it returns (so that ARecord firstName can find field names like "firstName, or "FIRST_NAME," etc...). The ODBC package is a change set, which, if I recall, loads some global constants and things which made the TimeStamp class not work in Aida, I think. Anyway, if you have problems, let me know; I have a version I patched many months ago which seems to work...although I didn't know enough at the time to turn it into a Monticello package and wrap ODBCEnh up with it!

Take care,

Rob

Latest avaiable is in http://www.squeaksource.com/MySQL

I use it in combination with some classes in Magritte-RDB available from mc.lukas-renggli.ch/magritteaddons

Thanks for the pointers. Unfortunately, it appears from SqueakMap that the driver is GPLed and since we sell our enterprise server solution this is a no-go. I think I'll go with ODBC.
