Re: [Pharo-project] Pharo and db support
by Mariano Martinez Peck
Ok.....Doru: I will answer you as much as I know.
I think it is good your idea of having a webpage with all the answers of
your questions and even more. The seaside persistence page is ok, but two
things: 1) this is not only squeak/pharo but others dialects too, 2) Most
of those persistence strategies are not seaside dependent. I mean, you can
use them in others contexts, not only seaside.
Maybe we can modify
http://code.google.com/p/pharo/wiki/PackagesTestedInPharo and put more
information.
what do you mean by "Projects that use this one" ? projects like Glorp or
enterprise/company projeccts ?
Regarding SqueakDBX there are two projects: SqueakDBX itself and GlorpDBX.
SqueakDBX is just the database driver.
*Maturity*: SqueakDBX has raised the "stable" maturity.
*Version*: You can have in Universe 1.0 and 1.1 (which is the latest one).
For stable releases we use Universe and SqueakMap, but not MC. However, most
of the time, the latests versions in MC are "working". I know this is not
the best approach and we can use Metacello or Sake but we didn't have time
yet.
In this moment, you can install the latests version and will work perfect.
You can take the latest Pharo image (core, dev or web), download the package
SqueakDBXLoaders and then just evaluate SqueakDBXPharoLoader loadSqueakDBX.
*Supported database vendor and version*: I can told you the "tested"
databases, but not the supported. Because I don't know. Maybe it works and
maybe it doesn't.We have tested the following databases: Oracle (I think 9
and 10, but I guess it should work on 11), MySQL 5 (in 4.1 we have some
problems but there is some work done), PostgresSQL 8.X, Sqlite3.XXX, MSSQL
2005 and 2008.
*Current development*: GlorpDBX and fixing bugs when reported
*Maintance support*: we are here :) we have our own mailing list:
http://lists.squeakfoundation.org/mailman/listinfo/squeakdbx
*Website*: www.squeakdbx.org
GlorpDBX: We did two things: we refactored Glorp so that it is not couple to
the native postgresql driver anymore but to an API (abstract database
driver). And then, we create a concrete Glorp driver for SqueakDBX (that's
what we call GlorpDBX) and another one for the postgresql native driver.
*Maturity*: Yet in development. Thanks to ESUG for the sponsoring on
SummerTalk 2009. Right now we have postgresql, mysql and oracle green tests.
We will then work on MSSQL support.
*Version*: There is no release yet, but you can download the latest from MC.
Just download the package SqueakDBXLoaders and evaluate SqueakDBXLoader
loadGlorpDBX. The problem here is Glorp. The Glorp port we have in Squeak is
too old. We plan to do a new port from VW but this is quite complicated as
there is no exporter from Store to MC as I understand.
*Supported database vendor and version*: I can told you the "tested"
databases, but not the supported. Because I don't know. Maybe it works and
maybe it doesn't.We have tested the following databases: Oracle (I think 9
and 10, but I guess it should work on 11), MySQL 5 (in 4.1 we have some
problems but there is some work done), PostgresSQL 8.X.
*Maintance support*: we are here :)
*Website*: www.squeakdbx.org
There is also the native postgresql driver which also works on Pharo and it
has no dependencies. In addition, you can load Glorp with our refactor and a
new Glorp driver we did but using the postgresql native driver. To do this,
you must download GlorpPharoLoader and evaluate
loadGlorpWithNativePostgreSQLDriver.
There is also Magma than in the few months they did a lot of work and now it
works also in Pharo.
Ok....that's all I could tell you. I don't have a pharo image here so maybe
some of the messages I told you are wrong :(
Cheers,
Mariano

Yep,
I think we should create a benchmark _image_ then...

I have
Display depth -> 32
then 24 looks strange to me.
depth: bitsPerPixel
(bitsPerPixel > 32 or:
[(bitsPerPixel bitAnd: bitsPerPixel-1) ~= 0])
ifTrue: [self halt: 'bitsPerPixel must be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32'].
depth := bitsPerPixel
Can you type
Display depth
and Display depth: 32 to see if this change something?

We should keep an old machine around to test it.
this is strange.
Because the Ob2Browser is slow because it displays package and getting package information is slow.
Which browser are you using
Can you give a try to change it and use the system browser (to change click on the right icon on the window ... Choose new default menu)
Can you change the theme?
using the preference pane?
Thanks

Folks,
If we can devise a "benchmark" kind of package I have an old P-III with OEM Win2K that I can put for comparing against my (newer, but not leading edge) machines.

maybe we should add a note to the download page that on slow machines, people
should download the Core image instead and switch the skin to a simpler one...

Re: [Pharo-project] about Pharo

In my experience the truetype fonts and the mac skin are a major
slowdown. If I disable both things I get a much faster image. Now I do
like nice fonts, so I just live with that speed penalty ...

Re: [Pharo-project] about Pharo
by Schwab,Wilhelm K
Stef,
I have a "slow" machine that stands ready to help with numbers any time; it is semi-retired now, running Ubuntu 9.04. It might be a good ideas to dual-boot it, but I find it challenging to work up the motivation to assault it with a Windows CD, and I have a similar era machine running win2k.
My sense is that Pharo is slower than Squeak, and I am suspicious that the Linux vm is not as efficient as it could be. I forget wheher I saw this only on Linux, but somewhere I reported a long-sourced method that I saw draw in monochrome and AGAIN in color. Nothing against Shout (as the self-apppointed comment pedant, I **really** appreciate syntax highlighting), there might be some room for efficiency by skipping the monochrom pass.
Resizing on Linux turns the main window black. It might make more sense to invalidate and draw once after the sizing is complete??
I have long heard people claim that Linux is faster than Windows, but I was not convinced. Having recently purchased a new machine and watched it labor under the weight of Vista long enough to see for myself what all the stench was about, I think I get it. Current Linux distributions with the customary graphical largese are not happy on 7+ year old machines that handily run Win2k. However, a new box that just barely gets by under Windows will be relatively quick running Linux.
I forget who said it: "software is getting slow faster than hardware is getting fast."

I have
Display depth -> 32
then 24 looks strange to me.
depth: bitsPerPixel
(bitsPerPixel > 32 or:
[(bitsPerPixel bitAnd: bitsPerPixel-1) ~= 0])
ifTrue: [self halt: 'bitsPerPixel must be 1, 2, 4, 8, 16 or 32'].
depth := bitsPerPixel
Can you type
Display depth
and Display depth: 32 to see if this change something?

We should keep an old machine around to test it.
this is strange.
Because the Ob2Browser is slow because it displays package and getting package information is slow.
Which browser are you using
Can you give a try to change it and use the system browser (to change click on the right icon on the window ... Choose new default menu)
Can you change the theme?
using the preference pane?
Thanks

well.
I just got a discussion with doru that this is a pain to load the latest version of something
because you cannot load a previous and robust set of consistently working together versions.
Soon people will have to offer metacello configuration.

Re: [Pharo-project] Pharo and db support
by Tudor Girba
Hi,
That sounds interesting indeed.
But, I was more talking about the projects for DB mapping, not the
application projects. In other words, what Pharo project are you using
and which version to work with what version of what database.
For example, you mentioned SqueakDBX. Which version? Is the latest one
Ok? The same for Glorp.
Cheers,
Doru
