Django 1.5 driver for Firebird is updated (based on the fdb driver)
Maximiliano Robaina announced :
There is a new version of django-firebird in github repository.
It is still alpha,You can test it with django 1.5 release.
This version is under development and uses the fdb python-firebird driver .
It’s tested only with django 1.5 master branch, so is possible it could fail with django 1.4.x (but it seems that works)
Given this is still in alpha stage we need that you try it and run the tests and give us feedback if it works for you. Also we need Python 3.x testers.
Update: Django 1.5 Beta is released
SQuirreL SQL Client 3.4.0 is released and it seems to be quite popular
SQuirreL SQL Client 3.4.0 is released with many Enhancements and Bug Fixes
It is a database-independent db management and query tool: as long as
there is a JDBC driver for it (eg like Jaybird), you can use it to query
your database, etc. I guess that is the primary reason it is so popular.
And it the top picks for sourceforge Top Growth Projects near the Pascal Compiler
