Accessing MySQL or MariaDB from Pharo7 Smalltalk

There is the „Garage“ addon Package for Pharo that provides a relatively simple interface to several relational databases including MySQL (and the nearly identical MariaDB).

Unfortunately, the installation instruction at http://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/garage/installation.html seems to be buggy. At least it did not work for me.

Therefore I wrote this step by step description how I finally had success. It is for those wanting to use Pharo7 on Microsoft Windows 10 : Accessing_MySQL_from_Pharo7_Smalltalk.pdf

I hope this text is as helpful for others as it would have been for me, if I had found something similar three weeks ago. ;-)

What you talk about seems to be what I need, but the link you give isn't working now. Is your pdf sill available? Thanks.

The "Garage" addon Package for Pharo offers a straightforward interface to various relational databases, such as MySQL and MariaDB. However, some users have encountered issues with the installation instructions provided at http://guillep.github.io/DBXTalk/garage/installation.html. If you're experiencing difficulties with the installation process, you're not alone. It's possible that the instructions may contain errors or require additional steps to work correctly. I recommend reaching out to the Pharo community or the package author for assistance in resolving the installation problem.

Please, how can I contact the author? Thank you.
