Are you using/planning to use PostgresV3?
What are its advantages over current driver (PostgresV2)?
I was puzzled that a smart developer like Levente decides not to use Glorp.
I don't want to sound harsh, but there is no VISIBLE interest from the Pharo board/committee regarding ORM and/or RDBMS support other than a CI task. Few days ago I asked a question in the Pharo-Business regarding this, and got NO REPLY. This week I was looking into Python's SQLAlchemy [1] to find how close it is to GLORP current features, and also found out how far it seems/feels to a small community like ours. Not to mention things like jOOQ[2] ([1] provides some of its features though). I'm making no demands here, just giving my opinion about a "business feature" (DBs) that I'd like better supported.
And I wondered why SqueakDBX decided to use V2 instead of V3, a protocol introduced in 2003 or so.
Is the V2/V3 spec a PostgreSQL protocol spec or something made up in the Squeak community? I know something changed in PgSQL protocols around version 7.2. Esteban A. Maringolo [1] http://www.sqlalchemy.org/ [2] http://www.jooq.org/
