Hi Stephan. The state of SqueakDBX + Glorp -> GlorpDBX is uncertain in the site. That's true because we didn't have time to release a stable version. The truth is that we are quite busy this year :(
Nevertheless, GlorpDBX is working correctly with PostgreSQL, Oracle and MySQL. Some tests fails (I think only MySQL has failing tests) but they are just because the database doesn't support a particular feature.
So, if you use PostgreSQL, MySQL or Oracle, GlorpDBX should work ok. We even have a production enviroment with GlorpDBX + MySQL :)
If you want to give it a try to GlorpDBX, there is a Metacello configuration for it:
Gofer new squeaksource: 'MetacelloRepository'; package: 'ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX'; load.
((Smalltalk at: #ConfigurationOfGlorpDBX) project version: '1.0') load.
Remember you need to have OpenDBX and the PostgreSQL libraries installed.
It would be great if you can use GlorpDBX for Suixo project because it gives it portability.... I mean, at least you can change the database ;)
Cheers
Mariano

Hello Mariano,
We have been looking at using SqueakDBX in Suixo. Suixo currently uses the Glorp/Postgres combi on linux. From the SqueakDBX site the state of glorp for SqueakDBX is not clear to me. What is the timeframe you're looking at? Especially with you managing the GSoC application.

Can the web site be updated with this info. I pointed someone there from LinkedIn, and he dismissed it without trying it, once he read it only worked for PostgreSQL.
Also, he was not able to locate the site using a Google search. IIUC, it's a Pier based site, so Google should find it. Maybe the site needs some Google-magic applied, so it shows up under "squeak + glorp".

Hi Yanni. Thanks for the feedback. We had some information in the website, but not the current status... For today, check this http://www.squeakdbx.org/GLORP%20integration there you can navigate to different pages. Some of that pages need to be updated. I will do that during the weekend.

This is weird....it should be "findable" but Google. First because we have the cannonical stuff in Pier. Second (I am not sure) I think we have the sitemap addon. I don't remember...And finally, we have several places pointing to that url to make it more "findable".
Cheers
Mariano
