CopyCat is a Delphi / C++Builder component set encapsulating a database
replication engine for Interbase, Firebird, MS SQL Server, MySQL and
SQLite. Using CopyCat, you can replicate heterogenously between all the
above database types, over various transport systems (direct DB
connection, XMLRPC, or RTC), on various platforms : Delphi/MS Windows
for the client side, server side implemented in Delphi, in Java, in PHP
(only for MySQL) and in Objective-C on iOS (only for SQLite).

CopyCat is a robust replication engine that has been in production use
since 2004. Go to our site at http://www.copycat.fr to find out more!

Below is the list of changes in the new release.

isql documentation update

Leave a comment

The manual for isql has been hugely updated, tidied up and is now online at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/html/isql.html for the html and at http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/user_manuals/Firebird-isql.pdf for the pdf version.

If you get an older version that document 0.5 then the cache needs to be flushed.

It’s still not fully complete, but it’s a lot further down the line than before.

Cheers,
Norm.

FBLib (Firebird Pascal Library) repository has moved to Github

Leave a comment

For years the FBLib (Firebird database library for Free Pascal, Delphi and Kylix) has lived in the 3rdParty directory tree of tiOPF. We are cleaning up the tiOPF repository, and so I have now moved the FBLib project out to Github, into its own repository. The repository history is intact. I still need to add a few more patches I have locally, and some Lazarus based support apps.

All future development of FBLib will now happen on Github.

To get a copy of the code:

git clone git://github.com/graemeg/firebird-lib.git

I just pushed up a new commit into django-firebird github repository [1] with several python 3 fixes.
If anybody can test it with python 3 and report any issue, it will be appreciated.

Take into account that this improvements are available into github repository, not on PyPI yet. Pull requests are welcome 😉
