Hi,

I wonder if anyone considered joining Firebird to Google’s Summer of
Code project?

Main article is written Japanese

jrmarino writes “Pascal Data Objects (PDO) is a database API that works equally well on FPC and Delphi. When I introduced this 10 months ago, only MySQL 4.0, 4.1, and 5.0 were supported. Since then, I have moved the project to Sourceforge and recently added drivers for Firebird 1.5 and 2.0. Some new abstraction capabilities were also added.”

Ok, I know this is a totally sucky announcement not even worthy of
Firebird, but time keeps going by. I have yet to be able to get together
the info for a better one. So here is a very crude announcement.

A new version of InstantBDExpress, the tool of choice for porting Delphi BDE-based applications to the dbExpress technology is available. More details here: http://www.ethea.it/eng_instantbdexpress.asp.

After several months of development, NHibernate 1.2 is approaching release, as indicated by the change from Beta to CR (Candidate for Release). The latest release fixes most reported bugs and includes numerous small improvements. The release is now available for download as a Windows Installer (.msi) package, and a separate installer contains the API documentation, ready to be integrated into Visual Studio 2005.

NHibernate is a port of Hibernate Core for Java to the .NET Framework. It handles persisting plain .NET objects to and from an underlying relational database. Given an XML description of your entities and relationships, NHibernate automatically generates SQL for loading and storing the objects. Optionally, you can describe your mapping metadata with attributes in your source code.
