About SqueakDBX
The aim of this project is to build an OpenDBX (http://www.linuxnetworks.de/doc/index.php/OpenDBX) plugin which will allow users to perform relational database operations (DDL, DML and SQL) through an open source library.
Through this feature, the squeak community will hopefully be able to interact with major database engines, such as oracle and mssql, apart from those which are open source, like postgresql and mysql. Moreover, by integrating this plugin with GLORP (http://www.glorp.org/), will allow us to generate a complete and open source solution to relational data base access.
To make this possible, the Squeak Foreign Function Interface (FFI) will be used. FFI is used to call functions located in shared libraries (OpenDBX in this case) which are not part of the Squeak VM nor its plugins. Don't worry, queries are asynchronous, so the time of the FFI blocks is very low and unimportant. In addition, we have also developed our own queakDBX plugin just to avoid FFI calls.
