<sigh>
Yes, this sort of thing is why I wrote the MySQL adaptor.
I found ODBC too unreliable. There are so many possible points of
failure, and so little you can do about it when a failure does occur.
And getting it installed on OS X was just a nightmare before Apple
started bundling it in 10.2.
The native-Smalltalk MySQL driver is a little awkward in places, but it
works pretty well.
