Notes For VASmalltalk 8.0 and later. This version was tested against a local Oracle 10g installation. I am the VASmalltalk version corresponding to the open repository bundle of the same name and number as the first part of my version number. STATUS ======= VADatabaseAccessor does not yet support binding; all bound commands are mapped to unbound. (Make it do this, then port forward to latest Glorp.) History ====== 0.3.178 VA8.NFR.7 - first VASmalltalk 8.0 version - VA55DatabaseAccessor renamed to VADatabaseAccessor (could have called it VA8DatabaseAccessor) - newTimestamp... method handles VA8 changes (time holds millseconds, AbtTimestamp microseconds does not duplicate) - error handling rewritten for VA8 (and has been tested OK; more extensive testing might be no bad thing) 0.3.178 CS12.NFR.5 - registerTransientInternalsOfCollection: calls postCopy on collections explicitly. - VA55DatabaseAccessor>>connectionClassForLogin: uses Oracle10, not Oracle8, VA interface. (DatabaseAccessor>>classForThisPlatform decides which subclass of accessor is used; could have this instead look at VA platform versions, assign accessors.) - CA accessor checks if statement is a SELECT, sets returnResult: true/false from this, on a calling path where VW just says true; accessor returns an empty readStream where no actual result is provided so dialect-neutral caller can send it upToEnd regardless. - see GlorpTest notes for test results. This version was tested on VA7.5.0 with PhilemonKernel loaded and the following methods provided CS12.NFR.4: double-precision and error raising made more dialect-neutral. CS12.NFR.3 VA55DatabaseAccessor now handles unbound commands and maps bound to unbound. The next version should map bound commands directly to VA binding calls (see comments in methods). A later version will look at using GlorpPreparedStatements. CS12.NFR.2 - VA55DatabaseAccessor>>loginIfError: uses hostName_dbName for connectionString (the approach was copied from SqueakDatabaseAccessor). Previously, the login did not handle the possibility of a remote server; the database had to be local. - The VA version of Glorp was last frozen for demo around 24jun2004 (then demoed in Kothen in August that year). Meanwhile, significant changes to database accessor code began in 7jul2004, changing calls of #basicExecuteSQLString: into calls of #basicExecuteSQLString:NoResult:doing: #basicExecuteSQLString:returnResult:binding:doing: Thus the VA55Accessor needed work.
Comment This is the VA port of the Glorp bundle in the Cincom OR. The first part of the port's version string is the version of the bundle from which it came. The second part denotes the Camp Smalltalk epoch in which it was produced, the creator's initials and the incemental serial number.
