Someone could make a plugin, which will call ODBC from separate native<br> thread, without blocking VM thread and blocking only caller Process.<br> It can be even me :)</blockquote><div><br>Hmm...my Windows threading capablilities are slim to non-existent, and I have yet to create a Squeak plugin. However, I think I could review the "C Way" of ODBC from MSDN and the Smalltalk/X inline C as a start if there is any way I could be useful at all!<br>
<br>Is this really something you would be interested in? This is a big enough issue for me to keep considering "one of the other Smalltalks" over, but I keep coming back to Squeak (in spite of it being rough around the edges) because of the truly brilliant, engaging community. <br>
<br>I keep looking for something I am actually good enough at to help out with and contribute to, and once again, I am a little out of my depth, but I could dust off my ancient memories of C (I would honestly be better in straight assembly using something like FASM) and try to help out if you are interested and I wouldn't get in the way too much...<br>
<br>Thanks again,<br><br>Rob<br> </div><br>
