Since I helped Mandriva to do their packages for Firebird, I jumped and with Michal, we made things happen
Users of Opensuse 10.0,10.1,10.3 and future 11.0 but also SLE 10 can now just use the server:database repository and get Firebird 2.0.4
As soon as the Firebird Project will publish Firebird 2.1.1, packages will be there too.
This feature was requested on ubuntu bug tracker and now fix is released in firebird2.0 for Ubuntu Intrepid Ibex
The forum here is created using the phpBB Software, available on phpbb.com. It is a great and free Open Source Solution and since version 3, it has full support for firebird. This installation uses apache 2.0, phpBB 3.01, php 5.21 and firebird 2.1 on windows 2003 server.
Comparing the performance of several operations in FB2.1, OraXE and SQLServerXE using the vendor specific .NET data access drivers, I discovered Firebird was about 3 times faster than the others which were both nearly the same speed.
Firebird 2.1 will be included by default in the next Ubuntu release named Intrepid Ibex that will be released in 30 October.
A good usage of C, C++ and similar languages involves using the language in a disciplined manner, such that the hazards brought by their weaknesses and more error-prone features are minimized. To that end, it is common to require that code rely only on a well-defined subset of the language, following a set of coding rules. GGCC is a free tool that can be used to analyze code.
Firebird (and some other open source projects) were analyzed and experimental results can be seen here.
Info submited by Juarez Rudsatz.
The site Database Journal talks about the new FB 2.1 release.
As you may have noticed, debian experimental got firebird2.0 (2.0.4) and
firebird2.1 (2.1.0).
I would really appreciate if you give these some testing.
Lazarus Ide is now included in Ubuntu Hardy/Intrepid and can be easily be installed and then can work with Firebird
We are happy to announce the second beta of Jaws 0.8.0
(What we do in life echoes in eternity). And as you
know… this is a release which ‘should’ work better
than beta1 but NOT be used in production systems.
