I'm using MySQL to hold some data on commodities prices for futures valuation and want to - of course - use Smalltalk as a front-end. Which framework would you recommend?
There is a pure Smalltalk MySQL driver on Squeaksource. Not sure whether it has been moved to SS3 or STH.

Others have suggested Glorp. Glancing at the code, seems Glorp currently only works with VisualWorks' MySQL driver. Based on my experience integrating NBSQLite3 into Glorp, I'd say it will take about a day or two, depending on the design of the driver. I've tested abovementioned MySQL driver with some version of MySQL5 some months ago.
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. Sven
