RE: [Newbies] regd databases and networking in squeak
Hi Navodit, The easiest thing you can do to attach a database is to use ODBC. If you have on your system an ODBC Driver say like Dbase or Access then you can just use a file. You set up an ODBC connection and then use SQL to access your data. The best part of doing this is that you don't need to have Access or Dbase on your system since ODBC does all the work for you. Review the ODBC packages on SqueakMap for details. For networking it really depends on what you are trying to do. If you are just looking for networking access to a database then you have that with the ODBC package. If you are looking for more advanced Database tools then consider using PostgreSQL and Glorp. This is a much more complicated so if you are new to this I'd stick with ODBC until you get your feet wet. Please feel free to ask questions!

Can anyone please suggest some good starting points? For databases, I would be needing to set up a database for my project at squeaksource.com so I am looking for something which would enable that. For networking, I just want to start by learning some basics about how network access works in Squeak. Any pointers would be highly appreciated.

Re: [Newbies] regd databases and networking in squeak
Look up Lex Spoon's chapter on Squeak networking: www.iam.unibe.ch/~ducasse/FreeBooks/CollectiveNBlueBook/parsia%202.pdf For client-server network programming, you might look at MaClientServer, which is part of Magma, an OO database for Squeak. You can load it separately from Magma. Search mail archives and Squeak IRC for references.
