Hello all,�I had no idea I left such an inaccurate impression, but on re-reading what I wrote, it could be taken as though I sought to compete with Diego - sorry about that all around.�
Let's try this again:�I found Diego's work lacking the ability to query table names and field names/types, wrote code to�those things, and�plan to�make it available.� Think of it as being an addition to Diego's package; the two can be merged.�
One thing I do not like about Squeak/Pharo in general is the whacked up way it mixes
snapshots with startup and shutdown.�
If I were to spin off of a new ODBC package, it would be to fix that.�The porting to which I referred is code that runs on top of OBBC, sockets, etc.� That goes fairly well, and will spin off some collective benefits with time.� As I said some time back, the best thing I can do to help with Pharo is to get myself hooked on it, at which point I will begin writing tools that would be of general interest.�It would help a lot to have a good way to export syntax colored code (HTML??) from MC packages.�
My concern is that I might have comments that need to be removed for release.� I live under a few non-disclosure agreements, and it would be bad to have a stray comment violate one of them.� I am pretty careful about that now, but every so often find something that would have been more wisely placed outside of my code.�The worst news I have is that when I tried to move code into the October web image, the image refused to open an ODBC connection.� In fact, the vm just crashed w/o writing diagnostic info to a file.� I retreated to my current (July) image, and have been distracted with lots of progress on some complex fronts; however,�I do need to get back to trying to identify the source of the crash.�

How is the ODBC port to Pharo going on?

Asunto: [Pharo-project] ODBCWarning
The porting continues... �It is getting closer to doing something. �It just
raised an ODBCWarning about the server changing the language to us_english.
Any ideas? �Either I do not care or should set it up front??
One thing really surprised me, and note that I might have brought this on
myself (though I think that is unlikely) by messing with startup and
shutdown: the ODBCLibrary was stubbornly clinging to the Linux library from
my home machine. �I finally used
� �ODBCLibrary default initialize.
which seemed to put an end to the separation anxiety. �Is there a better
fix? �I suppose I should try this in a clean image to see if there is really
a problem therein, but that will be a little hard to do without a lot of my
code, almost any of which either depends on changes I have made or could
have caused the problem.
Maybe I should ask whether some of you use ODBC on Windows and Linux and
have no problems moving between the machines.
