HowTo connect to Firebird from Delphi for Php

Posted by mariuz on 28 Mar 2009 1:38 pm. Filed under Technical Articles , Worth Reading.

Here is the tutorial

Firebird is supported by PHP, and Delphi for PHP can support it, but it can’t out of the box.
What is not well documented about a Delphi for PHP to Firebird connection, is the fact that names of libraries can overlap in WIndows.

Benerator – test data generator

Posted by mbabuskov on 27 Mar 2009 2:19 pm. Filed under General news.

While looking for some nice free test data generator for Firebird, I just stumbled into Benerator:

http://databene.org/databene-benerator/

benerator supports you in performing realistic load and performance tests. It is a framework for generating realistic and valid high-volume test data for your system under test (avoiding the Datalite anti-pattern)

Apparently, it works with Firebird:
