Hello all, I had no idea I left such an inaccurate impression, but on re-reading what I wrote, it could be taken as though I sought to compete with Diego - sorry about that all around. Let's try this again:
I found Diego's work lacking the ability to query table names and field names/types, wrote code to those things, and plan to make it available. Think of it as being an addition to Diego's package; the two can be merged. One thing I do not like about Squeak/Pharo in general is the whacked up way it mixes snapshots with startup and shutdown. If I were to spin off of a new ODBC package, it would be to fix that. The porting to which I referred is code that runs on top of OBBC, sockets, etc. That goes fairly well, and will spin off some collective benefits with time. As I said some time back, the best thing I can do to help with Pharo is to get myself hooked on it, at which point I will begin writing tools that would be of general interest. It would help a lot to have a good way to export syntax colored code (HTML??) from MC packages. My concern is that I might have comments that need to be removed for release. I live under a few non-disclosure agreements, and it would be bad to have a stray comment violate one of them. I am pretty careful about that now, but every so often find something that would have been more wisely placed outside of my code. The worst news I have is that when I tried to move code into the October web image, the image refused to open an ODBC connection. In fact, the vm just crashed w/o writing diagnostic info to a file. I retreated to my current (July) image, and have been distracted with lots of progress on some complex fronts; however, I do need to get back to trying to identify the source of the crash.

It is getting closer to doing something. It just raised an ODBCWarning about the server changing the language to us_english. Any ideas? Either I do not care or should set it up front?? One thing really surprised me, and note that I might have brought this on myself (though I think that is unlikely) by messing with startup and shutdown: the ODBCLibrary was stubbornly clinging to the Linux library from my home machine. I finally used ODBCLibrary default initialize. which seemed to put an end to the separation anxiety. Is there a better fix? I suppose I should try this in a clean image to see if there is really a problem therein, but that will be a little hard to do without a lot of my code, almost any of which either depends on changes I have made or could have caused the problem. Maybe I should ask whether some of you use ODBC on Windows and Linux and have no problems moving between the machines.
