I used xbase for reading dbf. That should work. But I don't have idea if xbase could be integrated to squeakDBX. Cheers! Carla On Friday, June 11, 2010, Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com> wrote:

Hi at all,can I used openDBX for read dbase (.dbf) files or I need try with xbase ?

Hi Facundo. Sounds Spanish name (or even Argentinian!!!  ;)  )

I don't know if it is possible. I even don't know that dbase is (I had to googled it)

what is xbase also?

I cc'ed openDBX mailing list and maybe Norbert can help you.

Cheers

Mariano

Hi Mariano, yes, Facundo sounds Criollo name (I'm Argentinian). xBase is just I need, I think. I'll try to install on Pharo 1.0. You can see it on http://map.squeak.org/package/ae10a69f-6e8e-49f9-a085-086f31311743. I'm using magma for my model objects but i need interect with dbase files [*] of other databases (ANSES, AFIP, BCRA, voter list, etc). Thanks for answer, Facundo [*] I used dbase III when i was a Clipper 5 programmer....yes yes, I'm more older than you , i Think <http://map.squeak.org/package/ae10a69f-6e8e-49f9-a085-086f31311743> 2010/6/11 Mariano Martinez Peck <marianopeck@gmail.com>

Hi Facundo,

You can use ODBC to access it.

From what I read on the SqueakDBX web page, they don't support xBase files nor ODBC (only ODBC for POstgreSQL is listed) yet.

Thanks Benoit. It seems you found a bug in the website ;) http://www.squeakdbx.org/Current%20Support is wrong, sorry. The thing is that OpenDBX DOES support ODBC and thus, SqueakDBX DOES support ODBC. However, I could only test it (and works!) with PostgreSQL and SQLServer. But it doesn't mean it doesn't work with others. Just that I couldn't even test it.

The xBase package on squeaksource might work but your best bet would be ODBC as far as I know.

ODBC works fine and is rock-solid in Pharo. I'm using it to connect to PostGreSQL, InterBase, MySQL, Oracle, DB2 and SQL Server without any problem.

good to know

Hope this helps.

Hi Facundo, Looking at my notes : 1) Load FFI ScriptLoader loadFFI 2) Load ODBC from SqueakSource.com MCHttpRepository location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/ODBC' user: '' password: '' 3) Initialize some stuff ExternalStructure allSubclassesDo: [:each | each compileFields]. Hope this helps. Let me know if this works... ----------------- Benoit St-Jean A standpoint is an intellectual horizon of radius zero.
