There is not a real reason for the name. But if you push me:

- you stock things in your garage usually.
- The drivers go to the garage :)

Nice!

Prepared statements, cursored fetchs, url connection strings... I like it.

Why "Garage"?

Regards!

Hi all,

I'm pleased to announce the release 0.1 of Garage, a database driver API. Garage is meant to be a common interface to access several database servers, in a JDBC style.

The current version works in Pharo3 and Pharo4 and includes drivers for:
��- mysql (pure smalltalk)
��- postgres (pure smalltalk)
��- sqlite (using ffi)
��- opendbx (allowing connecting with several db vendors, using ffi)

We have a nice test suite (that maybe you can help to enlarge) that is tested every day in Jenkins [1].

Also, in garage's website [2] you'll find
��- installation instructions
��- basic usage
��- documentation of features such as statements, transactions, cursored fetches.
��- issue tracker, backlog and other information

Feedback (and contributions) are very welcome!
Enjoy,
Guille
