Hi guys,<br>
<br>
I ported the Postgres package from Squeak, made by Yanni Chiu
and last updated in 2006, to Cuis.<br>
<br>
. As far as I can say it works, which means that:<br>
. All 21 test from 2006 are green using a modern PostgreSQL as
server.<br>
<br>
</font></font><font size="4"><font face="monospace">The package is
linked below; there should be enough info to let anybody who<br>
has working knowledge of databases use it in less than 2
minutes.<br>

<br>
To run the tests you need some privileges in a Postgres
database.<br>
I wrote how to do that as well.<br>
<br>
This package is ONLY for PostgreSQL. I have no intention to mix
it with<br>
other databases.<br>
<br>
The package comes from 2006, even if it works with classic data
types, you can forget about <br>
putting in JSON or other modern fancy stuff people in 2006 would
not have thought about. <br>
I may do that in a second step! <br>
<br>
There is another package from Philip Bernhart which should do
almost the same<br>
thing and probably more. I already told Philip why I did not use
his code.<br>
It is linked in my repository anyway. I have no time for
competitions and no energy<br>
to spend on quarrels. I just need a sturdy package that does a
very mundane business.<br>
For me, a code considered "1.0" in 2006 is a good fit so I chose
it for a revamp.<br>
<br>
Also, for honestly speaking, i will tell I was less worried
porting from Squeak than from Pharo,<br>
which I know far less.<br>
<br>
<br>
bye<br>
