Re: [Pharo-dev] Is it Glorp trustful enough for the encoding?

So...where should I do the conversion? At Glorp level or at database driver level?

And IMHO at the lowest possible level. If you have an SQL VARCHAR column, the driver should convert bytes to a normal Smalltalk String. An OR mapper is a client of the driver, right ?

+1 Encoding should be a parameter of the Connection/Login details. And ORM should deal only with strings in whatever encoding Pharo uses for its strings, ignoring (as much as possible) what happens beneath. Regards,
