Hi,
Thanks for all the pointers. I am now testing on Mac using the Actual
driver:
http://www.actualtech.com/product_access.php
I managed to get it running, but now I have problems with the ODBC
Pharo implementation because there seems to be no module for Mac:
ODBCLibrary class>>moduleName
"Return the name of the module for this library"
SmalltalkImage current platformName = 'Win32' ifTrue: [ ^ 'odbc32' ].
SmalltalkImage current platformName = 'unix' ifTrue: [ ^
'libodbc.so' ].
^ self error: 'Don''t know the ODBC library name'
Is there something to be done in this area?
Cheers,
Doru

Yes, Indeed, I mean, I used a driver to access, but can't remember now
the brand, but I'm sure I not payed for it :)
May be I used some trial version....

I'm talking of one I used when helped Diego with the testing of the
odbc package. Don't remember now, but may be this
http://www.unixodbc.org/ ?
ODBC is just an API, if you don't have a driver for yourdatabase,
then it
won't help.

About Mac, sorry, never touched a mac in all my life....
Cheers.

Hi Tudor:
Is as Levente says, you must define an ODBC source on a Windows PC
(Alternatively on Unix you can use ODBC also).
I don't know any free ODBC drivers for Access on un*x. I only
know a
driver
which costs 4-5 times more than the windows OS itself :). But
there's a driver for mac which costs only 30 usd if you're
interested.

Some examples on: http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2480
Cheers.

Thanks Mariano!
Indeed, if I load ConfigurationOfFFI first, everything loads
well.
I am a complete newbie in this area. Can anyone tell me what I
should
do
next?
I imagine that I should connect to an Access server. If yes,
how would
I
do that?
Also, do I need anything else, like a C plugin/library to get
the C
calls
from ODBCLibrary going?
First you'll need a pc running windows. Then you have to create
an ODBC
Data
Source for your Access file. Then you'll be able to create a
connection
to
that datasource from your image.

Hi,
I tried loading it, but I get :
"This package depends on the following classes:
ExternalLibrary
ExternalStructure"
Can anyone tell me where to find these from?
This means that you need Metacello ;)
Those classes are from FFI, a pre-requisite for ODBC to work.
Maybe there is a ConfigurationOfODBC somewhere...
For the moment, I recommend you to install FFI using the
ConfigurationOfFFI.

Mariano
Also, are there eternal prerequisites to work with ODBC?
Cheers,
Doru

Hi,
Is there a way to connect to a Microsoft Access database from
Pharo?
Yes, with ODBC.
Levente
I have an mdb file of 300 Mb that I would need to analyze.
