Case Study: Moscow City Hospital
Posted by Cantu on 15 Sep 2011 4:31 pm. Filed under Case Studies , Who is using FB? , Worth Reading.
Take a look at the new case study published in the FirebirdSQL site. Interesting that they choosed Firebird over Oracle, and cost was not the only factor. Worth reading!
There are other case studies published in the site. Make sure to read them all, and if you have an interesting case to show, contact the moderator to know how to publish it there.
pyfirebirdsql (python 3.x driver) here is a first todo list
Posted by mariuz on 11 Sep 2011 12:53 pm. Filed under Developer News , Technical Articles.
Philippe Makowski wrote a first todo list for the driver :
- add multiple transactions per connection management
- add prepared statements management
- extend services api
- improve info_database output (see db_info in kinterbasdb)
after that, I think that someone could work on sqlalchemy integration
I’ll try to first add the multiple transactions per connection
management in my repo (will create a branche for that)
Volunteers ?
Anything else ?

DBD Firebird Perl driver passes all tests and compiles with no warrnings
Posted by mariuz on 3 Sep 2011 12:45 am. Filed under General news.
иконографияThanks to Damyan and Stefan work we have a perl driver that is free of compilation warnings and that passes all tests when you run it with make test from command line.
Here is the commit log with recent changes.
Great work, is nice to see:
All tests successful. Files=33, Tests=842, 52 wallclock secs ( 0.98 usr 0.15 sys + 9.99 cusr 1.37 csys = 12.49 CPU)
Result: PASS
And here is the proof you need to clone the git repository and run in the shell
ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey make test
