This interface was written by Mike Anderson (except the
MySQL interface
which is a port of the old code) and is more easily
extensible, cleaner,
and more "Smalltalk-like".
There are many things that could be done. In particular,
the
FieldConverter should be moved up from the MySQL DBD so that
every DBD
provides one. This is necessary to provide prepared
statements.
Supporting SQLite would be also a good thing. The DBI
interface could
be grown with an object interface to SQL (like Avi Bryant's
ROE).
Having the copyright assigned FSF would also be better, but
since part
of the MySQL DBD is copyrighted by Josh Miller (it was not
written
specially for GNU Smalltalk) I can live without it.
Anyway, for now this is already much better than the
previous version.
With this in place, 3.0 is feature complete. Yeah.
