How to access a remote PostgreSQL db

Hi,

I would like to know if there is a package let me access a PostgresSQL db on a remote computer.

PGSqueak ? [ I can't find the code]

I don't need to do complex stuff, just run a SELECT and retrieve some rows.

I am exploring the possibility of using Squeak to make a GUI and keep under control a solar power plant.

bye
Nicola

Hi Nicola,

This should get you a package to handle PostgresSQL:

MCMcmUpdater updateFromRepository: 'http://squeaksource.com/PostgresV3'.

I am not a Postgres user (and so haven't verified this), but other folks on squeak dev who are say this is the way to get the package loaded.

Thanks,

cbc

Hi Nicola

I use PostgresV3 a lot and enjoy it.

MCHttpRepository
location: 'http://www.squeaksource.com/PostgresV3'
user: 'tty'
password: ''

If you browse the repo from Monticello , you will see an 'update...mcz' .
Browse it and it will show you what to install.

If you install the PostgresV3-Help first and look at 'Overview' and
'Standard Usage Pattern' its pretty intuitive to use.

hth.
