Hi Jörg,

Ordinarily, this question would be transparently answered by use of
the SqueakMap Catalog available within the image.  There is a "GLORP
Port" entry there, unfortunately it hasn't been updated since 2008.

I assume you're wanting to utilize Smalltalk as the logic of a
database application because of the transparency and inherent power of
expressivity it provides.  If so, would you like to consider
leap-frogging the impedance mismatch of RDBMS', the brittle connection
to external drivers, and all the failing package dependency nonsense,
for a reliable, *truly transparent* ODBMS designed from scratch for
Squeak, maintained to this day, and loads in under a minute the first
time with just one click using the standard method described above?

If so, then check out Magma.  It's recently been updated to Squeak
5.3, the current production version.  There's some basic documentation
here:

   https://wiki.squeak.org/squeak/2665

and I'm always happy to assist anyone who may have any questions here.

You've had to spend all your time so far worrying about everything
EXCEPT your application.  Magma (and ODBMS's in general) strive to
allow developers to focus 98% of effort on their application domain,
and only about 2% on database details.

Cheers,
  Chris
