The installation instructions say that one needs to compile OpenDBX first which seems cumbersome. </blockquote><div><br>Andreas: Thanks for asking. Yes, it's true. At first, it looks cumbersome but actually it isn't so complicated. At least in linux. I mean, everybody who has linux has compiled things by himself. However, in Windows, it is more complicated and users are less used to compile things.<br>
</div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">What's the easiest way to test this without having to build the library itself from first principles? Are there any precompiled binary SqueakDBX has been </blockquote>
<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">tested with? I'm in particular interested in a Windows install.</blockquote><div><br>Yes. There are binaries, but for OpenDBX, not SqueakDBX haha. For Linux, we have .rpm and .deb. The thing is that there are only binaries for stable version (just a matter of time). However, If you tell me which backend you want, I can do it for you.<br>
In windows, I really don't know too much. What I can tell you is that we have postgresql and mssql working. OpenDBX has a library for the core (here in windows a dll) and another library for each of the compiled backends. So, suppose we only want PostreSQl, you will have openDBX.dll and openDBXPostreSQL.dll. These DLLs, I can send it to you. Yo put them in c:/windwos/system32/ (or similar). That may work, but, be aware you must have client (postgres in this example) library installed and visible in your windows.<br>
<br>What backend are you interested in windows?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Mariano<br><br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; padding-left: 1ex;">

As promise, here are new benchmarks: <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6063" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6063</a><br>
<br>
Till now, we only have benchmarks for PostgreSQL. Now we have for all the supported backends.<br>

We are very glad to announce our second beta release of SqueakDBX.<br>
<br>
The aim of this project is to build an OpenDBX<br>
(<a href="http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/" target="_blank">http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX/</a>) plugin which will<br>
allow users to perform relational database operations (DDL, DML and<br>
SQL) through a truly open source library.<br>
<br>
The features for this release are:<br>
<br>
Bugs fixed:<br>
<br>
- Bug in odbx_query(), odbx_result() and odbx_result_finish()<br>
execution order.<br>
- Timeout in DBXPlatform #nextResultSet: was wrong mapped with FFI.<br>
Now, it is nil.<br>
- Some bugs in OpenDBXWin32 with apiCalls.<br>
<br>
New Features:<br>
<br>
-Support for SQLite in Linux<br>
-Support for MSSQL in linux and windows (with MinGW)<br>
-Support for PostgreSQL in Windows (with MinGW).<br>
-Better error handling. See <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6076" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6076</a><br></div>
-New <<a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6076-New" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6076-New</a>> non-blocking plugin to<div class="Ih2E3d"><br>
replace FFI (just a proof of concept, but<br>
running). See OpenDBX-Plugin package in Monticello.<br>
-New SqueakDBX tutorial: how to compile openDBX in linux and windwos,<br>
common problems and solutions. You can download it from:<br>
<a href="http://www.assembla.com/spaces/Proyecto-Proyecto/documents/a0bKPg0qCr3Aeaab7jnrAJ/download?filename=openDBXtutorial.pdf" target="_blank">http://www.assembla.com/spaces/Proyecto-Proyecto/documents/a0bKPg0qCr3Aeaab7jnrAJ/download?filename=openDBXtutorial.pdf</a>.<br>
However this pdf will be converted into "wiki format" and put there.<br>
-Configurable Log. See <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6099" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6099</a><br></div>

updated wiki: <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6052" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6052</a><br>
<br>
<br>
- We will be adding benchmarks on different backends and OS soon in<br>
the wiki: <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6063" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6063</a>.<br>
- You must use openDBX 1.3.10 version.<br>
<br>

<br>
<br>
Again, help wanted. We are really convinced about open source<br>
projects. A software project is better when people share opinions,<br>
work, advice, comments, etc.<br>
We would really appreciate if you:<br>
<br>
-Give us opinions, comments, ideas, new features, complaints and so on.<br>
-tell us if you find a bug.<br>
-tell us if you test SqueakDBX with other RDMBS or OS different from<br>
the ones we tested. Just to know if it works or not :)<br>
<br>
Full documentation, installation and getting started instructions can<br>
be found at wiki page: <a href="http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6052" target="_blank">http://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/6052</a><br>
<br>
Packages can be installed from Universe (3.10) or SqueakMap. Current<br>
version is 0.8<br>
Sources can be download from SqueakSource<br>
<a href="http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakDBX" target="_blank">http://www.squeaksource.com/SqueakDBX</a> (it requires FFI installed)<br>
