We do have targets, like make an example application using Glorp and being able to exchange the database. We try to make Glorp easier to use (Simple way to create queries, to get the results, etc). When it is done, we will write a cool tutorial and documentation.

Welcome!

Great news. This is an important area for Pharo. Please do keep us informed of your progress.

Do you have a specific target in mind for this project (besides the SQL Builder)?

Cheers,

Doru

Hi,

We are 3 students from Lille (Franck Warlouzet, Thomas Heniart and Merwan Ouddane) working on Pharo, precisely on DBXTalk.
We already fixed some tests, we did an adapter ( available here : http://www.smalltalkhub.com/#!/~ThomasHeniart/GlorpDriverMySQL/ ). GlorpDriverMySQL contains the adapter MySQL for Glorp, so you can use Glorp with MySQL (There is a method NativeMySQLDriver>>beGlorpDefaultDriver to use it as native driver).

We wrote a tutorial to show how to use MySQLDriver. It's available here : https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B5GYfJsa6d98YVJGWG1kQXBYcFE&authuser=0

Also, we are working on a SQLBuilder to create queries, for example something like that :

(connection newQuery)
   newTable: 'test'
   ifNotExists;
   withColumn: 'integ' ofType: 'Int';
   withColumn: 'string' ofType: 'VARCHAR(20)';
   build.

It will be available soon, when we are done. We would like to know what you would expect from it. We have some ideas, you can complete them, it would help us to do something right. We would appreciate every feedback or idea.

Thanks,

Franck
