Firebird is #1 with Delphi
Posted by Cantu on 27 Aug 2009 10:37 am. Filed under Firebird in the press.
Wings of Wind blog talks about Firebird support requests for Delphi, with interesting numbers:
The main complaint of some folks was about (lack of) support for their favorite database engine. As perhaps, you know, in this release there is no official SQLite and PostgreSQL support. Well, giving in account that we have already a new DBX driver in this version (Firebird) and the number of votes for PostgresSQL and SQLite compared with the ones for the Firebird DBX driver (which was #1 in QC with more than 1000 votes on all reports – duplicates, variants etc.) is a quite expected result.
(…)
Firebird + MS SQL + mySQL accounts more than 50% from your preferences with Firebird as clear leader. (MS SQL + mySQL = Firebird percentage). Closely follows Oracle and Access (!). Now, with the acquisition of SUN the things (perhaps) will change.
(…)
Also we see a bunch of Firebird/Interbase solutions which are high in ranking: FIBPlus, and a little bit lower IBX and IBObjects almost in par.

No’am Newman wrote again about his Bde to Firebird date migration issues:
In continuation of my previous post about problems of inserting/update date fields in FB databases, I did a little poking around and eventually – by trial and error – found the correct syntax:
update data
set datefield = ’01/01/2008′
where id = 1;
No’am Newman wrote about using Firebird:
I’ve spent the last week getting Firebird to work in my occupation psychologist’s office.
…
So this week, I’ve learnt the following thingshow to install FB on a network
how to access FB from client computers on that network
how to use the list view component
how to use an FB generator for auto-incremented integers
how to insert/update a date into an FB table[to do]
That’s enough for one week.
