I see your MySQL and PostgreSQL and raise you SQLite and ODBC. All four
of those drivers are available on SqueakMap. If anyone really wants it I
hacked out most of a bridge to JDBC as well (slow, but useful for the thin
oracle drivers).
Not to mention the object databases (MinneStore, Magma, BDB) and
object/relational mappings (GLORP, Tantalus) available.
What Squeak doesn't have, unfortunately, is any DBI-like database
abstraction layer. But it's easy enough to roll your own when you need it
that nobody seems to have much interest in doing it properly.
