GLORP port

• Beta - Useable but still not stable, probably has bugs.
• LGPL - GNU Lesser General Public License. Only suitable for plugins.
• Squeak3.2 - Released 16 Jul 2002.
• Squeak Archive - A '.sar' file which is a zip-file following certain conventions.
• Development tools - Add-on development tools for Squeak.
• Class libraries - Class libraries for Squeak to use for development
• Squeak3.4 -
• Squeak3.5 -
• No code changes - Documentation and test changes, but not in code.

This has been ported directly from the Glorp version 0.2.34 in the Cincom Public Repository.

YOU MUST HAVE ALREADY INSTALLED (FROM SQUEAKMAP) YANNI CHIU'S POSTGRESQL-CLIENT DRIVER VERSION 0.9, which in turn will require you to first install Alain Fischer's ANSI compatibility suite (which again you can get from SqueakMap).

NOTE: After loading Glorp, the following test cases will fail,
for the following reasons:

GlorpDatabaseLoginTesttestUnsuccessfulLogin
This test is supposed to fail. If it succeeds, there is a problem

GlorpDatabasePlatformTesttestReadTimestamp
GlorpDatabasePlatformTesttestReadTimestampNoTZ
GlorpDatabasePlatformTesttestReadTimestampOverflowDays
Squeak TimeStamp instances don't support milliseconds,
and these three tests test for millisecond values.

GlorpDatabaseTypeDBTesttestNumeric

GlorpDatabaseTypeDBRoundTripTesttestNumeric
Tests write a ScaledDecimal, but PostgreSQL treats it like a double float. When it is read back in, it doesn't compare, so the test fails.

I am in the process of writing GLORP documentation. The current draft can be found here (NOTE: this documentation was written LONG ago, and haven't been updated for quite some time!!):
