Magritte-ROE for gst?

Hi,

I would like to port Magritte-roe for gst.

Before I start, I would like to know if there are any dependencies to
PostgreSQL.

I know roe only works with PGsql on squeak, but the gst version has
support for other sqls. I saw some 'pg_*' in the sql requests, but as I
don't know PGsql, I don't know if that matters.

Cheers!

Nicolas

It looks like Magritte-ROE has some hardcoded PostgreSQL dependencies.
However since the package is really minimal, only 3 classes and a few
methods it shouldn't be hard to change. I only put that together to
quickly dump and load some objects into a database that were Magritte
described, it does not do anything sophisticated.

Yeah, these are the meta-tables of PostgreSQL that describe the schema.

Does it mean that there are known limitations? If so, should I consider
using another Magritte extension to use it with SQL?

Magritte-ROE was designed (or rather quickly put together) for a
particular use-case (Magritte objects should be read from and dumped
into a PostgreSQL). When I wrote it, I did not have the time to do
anything more than I needed.

So what I am trying to say is that Magritte-ROE might not work for
your requirements, but it should be fairly easy to adapt to about
anything ;-)
