Questions: PDFs, MySQL, TableMorph, seaside...

What are my options for generating PDF output? In particular I want to
minimize 3rd party library needs.

Also, what about MySQL: is there a way to communicate with an external
MySQL db without needing to install a 3rd party library? And If not,
what is the most portable library? (And if I must use ODBC or
something, on a Mac or Windows, how can I configure it from within
Pharo?)

I noticed that the panes in a TableMorph are not set to scroll
together by default, is there an easy switch to make them scroll
together? If I wanted to show an spreadsheet like display, is
TableMorph the best starting point, or are there better higher-level
tools (available in Pharo) worth learning?

Finally, I *may* want to generate HTML output... so ... where is the
best place to start getting oriented with seaside tools?

Thanks in advance,
Cam

I will answer only what I know.

Also, what about MySQL: is there a way to communicate with an external
MySQL db without needing to install a 3rd party library? And If not,
what is the most portable library? (And if I must use ODBC or
something, on a Mac or Windows, how can I configure it from within
Pharo?)

I think the only way of using MySQL with Pharo/Squeak without a 3rd party library is using the native MySQL driver. You can find it as MySQL driver in Universes or MC (http://www.squeaksource.com/MySQL.html).

I guess It works in different OS.

Cheers,

Mariano

Pharo-web includes seaside. But, the Seaside site has pointers to doc,
books, and blogs.

SPDF is one option for producing PDFs, needs more work though...
TableMorph is currently experimental... (see class comment)
