Indeed the market is huge. Pharo was of help here but would have been a huge help if an oracle driver would have been existed. The biggest problem so far is that it seems they managed to get mixed character encoding in their database. That is close to impossible to solve.Am 22.06.2017 um 17:43 schrieb Ben Coman <btc@openinworld.com>:On Thu, Jun 22, 2017 at 8:40 PM, Norbert Hartl <norbert@hartl.name> wrote:It interfaces with a legacy patient information system, microsoft exchange and other stuff in order to orchestrate the arrangement of surgery dates.

Great to hear of your success here.There must be a massive market like this... "Unfortunately XXX didn't offer a proper interface, so we had to dive into the depths of their data base for reverse engineering, to be able to reconstruct functionalities"
and if Pharo's liveness helped in this reverse engineering, that would make a great marketing blog post fro you and Pharo... "How a niche language gives us the superpowers to do what others can't." hehe...
