My position is that OpenDBX as a library, independently of Pharo, is a dead end. It might have been a good candidate in the past, but today it has no real use.
But it is also true that for Pharo it is the only option you have to run it on Linux. Regards, ps: I would also avoid Oracle altogether as well, but given the fact it seems to be a requirement I didn't bring it to the discussion.
