WARNING

As of Pharo 6.1, the Pharo Glorp repository has been moved to github: https://github.com/pharo-rdbms

Earlier versions of Pharo can still load Glorp from here using the instructions under "Superseeded", below.

Glorp

Glorp (for "Generic Lightweight Object-Relational Persistence") is a full-featured Object-Relational Mapper for Pharo.

Amongst those features you'll find some saving you from writing SQL queries by hand, managing transactions that rollback the changes to the objects in your image or commit them to the database, writing simple and complex queries using plain Smalltalk syntax, and other features that we will cover in this introduction chapter and in the advanced topics chapter.

Read more about in the Glorp book chapter, also available for printing
