Hi! Since object databases and other databases are a dear subject to me I must reply with some "hints" :)

GOODS was mentioned, but I have not used it. We use Magma in Gjallar and while I am now leaning to try another solution it has worked quite fine, but a tad slow. Note though that the slowness can probably be fixed. > - Which object database can be accessed from Smalltalk AND Ruby or > Python ? How ? Well, if this is an important aspect I would look at CouchDB or MongoDB (but so far there is no working driver for Pharo/Squeak - but Kent Beck is working on one, and I wanted to do it - but haven't had the time). These new "document databases" like CouchDB and MongoDB are quite object database-ish, and they work perfectly fine in a mixed environment and have very good Ruby/Python support. For CouchDB we have two drivers at this point, one based on Curl and one using straight SocketStream directly that Igor works on. > - I want to try MySQL too. > Is there up to date small applications on squeaksource which show this > stuff quite well ? Not sure. SqueakSave was mentioned and I think it probably is a very interesting GLORP alternative. regards, Göran _______________________________________________ Pharo-project mailing list Pharo-project@lists.gforge.inria.fr http://lists.gforge.inria.fr/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pharo-project
