Hi!
We are reaaaaally happy to announce (at last) a very very stable release of
the new Glorp port :D. We've done a lot to achieve the following results
with Glorp:
OpenDBX Oracle:
- 7 errors related to Blobs, which are not supported by opendbx.
- 1 failure related to timestamp cast (and I don't understand the test
intention yet :P)
OpenDBX MySql:
- 100% green tests :D
OpenDBX PostgreSQL:
- 7 errors and 1 failure related to Blobs, which are not supported by
opendbx (again).
OpenDBX SQLite:
- 6 failures related to large objects, which are not supported by opendbx
(again again).. 2 (expected) failures related to times & dates.
Native PostgresV2 Driver:
- 2 failures with blobs
So far, some FAQs:
*¿What is the difference between this port and the old one?*
Almost 4 years of work of the VW team with tons of bugfixing (see the last 4
years release notes from Glorp for more detail :P)
*¿How can I load it?*
If you want to load Glorp + OpenDBX, you can try the following:
*Gofer it
squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX';
load.
(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX) perform: #project) perform:
#version: with: #stable) load*
Also, you can try loading only Glorp (maybe because you want to integrate it
with your own database driver):
Gofer it
squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository';
package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorp';
load.
(((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorp) perform: #project) perform:
#version: with: #stable) load
*¿How did we test it?*
We've tested it in Pharo 1.2 and Pharo 1.3 + Jenkins CogVms.
*¿What's coming next?*
*We are working for your happiness (?).*
Hehe, our next step is to release the DBXMagritte project, which aims to
allow people working in the Software business to create easy CRUD -the same
scaffolding idea from RoR for example- including some of the following
features:
- (create a class model + magritte descriptions) from a database schema
- [if you already have a descripted class model] use magritte descriptions
to create a database schema
- use magritte descriptions to create glorp mappings
And then, you can use the same descriptions for your Seaside app, or in
every magritte-friend framework you like ;)
So, thanks again to ESUG for sponsoring the project :).
