[Pharo-project] Questions: PDFs, MySQL, TableMorph, seaside...
What are my options for generating PDF output? In particular I want to minimize 3rd party library needs. Also, what about MySQL: is there a way to communicate with an external MySQL db without needing to install a 3rd party library? And If not, what is the most portable library? (And if I must use ODBC or something, on a Mac or Windows, how can I configure it from within Pharo?) I noticed that the panes in a TableMorph are not set to scroll together by default, is there an easy switch to make them scroll together? If I wanted to show an spreadsheet like display, is TableMorph the best starting point, or are there better higher-level tools (available in Pharo) worth learning? Finally, I *may* want to generate HTML output... so ... where is the best place to start getting oriented with seaside tools? Thanks in advance, Cam
I will answer only what I know.

I think the only way of using MySQL with Pharo/Squeak without a 3rd party library is using the native MySQL driver. You can find it as MySQL driver in Universes or MC (http://www.squeaksource.com/MySQL.html). I guess It works in different OS. Cheers, Mariano

SPDF is one option for producing PDFs, needs more work though... TableMorph is currently experimental...
