It would be very good to have another Glorp solution with a pure Smalltalk implemented DB driver, like the PostgresV2 one. IMHO this is way less error prone than the whole library/driver/.. mess on all these different platform.


Since our Glorp refactor back years ago...adding a Glorp adaptor (DatabaseDriver subclasses) should be very very easy.��
So yes, it would be nice to do it for the MySQL driver...but I thought we already had that...
