[Pharo-project] Questions: PDFs, MySQL, TableMorph, seaside...

by Cameron Sanders

What are my options for generating PDF output? In particular I want to minimize 3rd party library needs. Also, what about MySQL: is there a way to communicate with an external MySQL db without needing to install a 3rd party library? And If not, what is the most portable library? (And if I must use ODBC or something, on a Mac or Windows, how can I configure it from within Pharo?) I noticed that the panes in a TableMorph are not set to scroll together by default, is there an easy switch to make them scroll together? If I wanted to show an spreadsheet like display, is TableMorph the best starting point, or are there better higher-level tools (available in Pharo) worth learning? Finally, I *may* want to generate HTML output... so ... where is the best place to start getting oriented with seaside tools? Thanks in advance, Cam

I can be very easy to alternative (not the default way) to return the field as String if it cannot be mapped or converted. In this case, suppose you have '2006-01-26 17:15:52' and there is no mapping for TIMESTAMP, I can mapped it to an String. This will let you fetch all the results without problem. The only problem is that you will have Strings objects instead of TimeStamp objects. What do you think ?

At least we know which is the problem :) As I said, the solution (sorry if it isn't good enough) is to use datetime. Cheers!
