Re: [Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

This discussion about database connectivity feels like the early days of JDBC. Things got solved when people wrote the type 4 drivers in Java, making it all nice to use and all. Given our resources, I doubt we can get there very fast. But maybe could we leverage the Java work in a way or another.

Re: [Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

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

Re: [Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

Norbert, OpenDBXDriver worked for Oracle in Linux. Not sure the state about right now (FFI status etc), but with some work it should work. On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 8:55 AM, Esteban Lorenzano wrote: > > On 02 Apr 2015, at 13:13, Norbert Hartl wrote: > > > Am 02.04.2015 um 12:52 schrieb Esteban A.

Re: [Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

I managed to access Oracle through DBXTalk but on Windows 7. Cheers, Doru On Thu, Apr 2, 2015 at 11:06 AM, Norbert Hartl wrote: > I see from time to time topics like SQL popping up. Most of the time > DBXTalk seems to be a requirement. It is also something that is considered > necessary for a l

Re: [Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

I don't know if you need full fledged access or just to read a few tables. If it the latest you can use PostgreSQL Foreign Data Wrappers (FDW) and access the pgsql instance using the existing PGv2 driver. I know it might look convoluted, and maybe it is, but you avoid using DBX. Regards. Ps: FD

[Pharo-users] Oracle on Linux

I see from time to time topics like SQL popping up. Most of the time DBXTalk seems to be a requirement. It is also something that is considered necessary for a lot of people. Now have the need to access an oracle database. Is that possible? And if yes does it also work on linux? Norbert
