Thanks everyone for all the input. It really helped me sit back and think about what the best approach to the overall problem I am trying to solve would be, which included techniques for minimizing the amount of database interaction I need in the first place.<br>

</div>There is a FileOut30 package which provides writing out code in a lot<br>
of dialects (it's in the public store). If you want to convert a<br>
complete package just install FileOut30. In the preferences you can<br>
choose squeak as file out format. If you file out the package you should<br>
be able to read it in squeak without too much hussle.<br>
<br>
If you are not successful than email me. I use my own converter for<br>
VW code to port Glorp to squeak.<br>

</div>Glorp can figure out a lot of the mapping setting on its own. For<br>
easy mappings you can just leave out class mapping and descriptor<br>
mappings. No need to have ActiveRecord stuff from the start.<br>
