Relational database suite

2

A database driver...


One (C) API to rule them ALL


Glorp
The ORM


Phoseydon
Some scaffolding tools


Or get the database schema...


But...
the world is not always pink
nor shiny
nor sweet


Deploy

BurdeN!!!


Backend Lib
FFI


FFI is blocking
BOOOOOOO
(buuuuu)


FFI is 32 bits
And OSs go 64 bits


Also we were using the old FFI


is another (C) library to install and setup


Compile this, compile that, compile compile comp...


And the resolution of C libraries is like this in MacOSX


And like that in Unix


And in


w i n d o w z e ...

ARghH!

We can do better!


Move the more code we can to


go

NativeBoost


There are drivers available

fully in

Smalltalk
God invented polymorphism for something!


Avoid extra libraries


NB-FFI
only when you can’t
(Oracle, cof cof)


(GSOC 13’)
The Main Idea:
Attack the deploy burden

26

(GSOC 13’)
NBFFI + TalkFFI

Generating NBFFI bindings automatically

27

(GSOC 13’)
Step 1

Generate OpenDBX bindings
To keep backward compatibility

28

(GSOC 13’)
Currently (still ongoing)
Oracle bindings + building on top
To avoid OpenDBX

29

automatize all we can


CI
