NoSWL Databases

Hi there.

I am currently trying to finish an Open University degree that I started back in the '70s. Eventually, I will have to create a project for the final module.

The current course is all about Database management and analysis. We are currently looking at NoSQL databases and I would like to try out one of these against some ideas I have for the project. I am wondering if anyone out there has any experience of using Pharo against either Riak or MongoDB?

I can probably drive Riak from using HTTP gets and puts but MongoDB appears to need JavaScript. I would prefer to use Python, which has a MongoDB interface available. Again, does anyone have any thoughts on interfacing Pharo with Python?

Re: NoSWL Databases

For Riak, search for Phriak

For MongoDB, search for MongoTalk and Voyage (GridFS unsupported, replicas unsupported, HA unsupported)

For interfacing with Python, Kilon made a lot of things, search for Ephestos, I guess there is something there.

No need for Python or what so ever.

There is a

tutorial in pharoInProgress on github (attached)

a chapter in deepintoPharo book

on voyage.

Voyage provides a really nice way to handle mongo DB and punqlite for now.

Did you consider using Gemstone for this? It solves a rather large
part of the common persistency problems, including a few difficult ones

On a simpler front and not at as a real daba base, you may find Fuel to
be incredibly efficient and reliable to persist a graph of object.
