[SqueakDBX] Installing on Windows with MSSql backend was Re: [Esug-list] [ANN] ESUG supports once again SqueakDBX

[Miguel Sanchez]

OK so after struggling to build openDBX (that one is ongoing), on your
instruction I switched to using DBXOdbcPlatform and ......... SUCCESS!

Well ok partial success. I managed to open the connection and while
investigating the resultset of a select I started getting an error. In
DBXConnection>>connect
On the line
	self platform class isAutomaticConnectionReleaseOnGC ifTrue: [
		SqueakDBXSmalltalkDialect current addObjectToGarbageCollect: self].
/*during addObjectToGarbageCollect:*/
I get the error: "Error: There is no free space in this set."

Do I need to force a garbage collect?

Best Regards,


Miguel
