Buildbot to test SQLAlchemy with Firebird required

Leave a comment

Michael Bayer, developer of SQLAlchemy ORM tool for python writes:

Ben Bangert has been so kind as to donate part of his hosting space for a SQLAlchemy buildbot, which is specifically against SQLAlchemy builds (unlike the “main” SQLAlchemy buildbbot which is against the Python trunk). its over at: http://pylonshq.com:8012/ . Anyone who feels like donating a slave (such as to test firebird, windows, etc.) can jump right on.

The BuildBot is a system to automate the compile/test cycle required by most software projects to validate code changes.

Talk on database locking and relational – oo bridge

Leave a comment

I did a talk on various strategies of how to bridge relational databases and object-oriented programming. In retrospect I should have submitted this as a “double feature” talk, so that I could cover more ground on the actual using of the existing packages in the PHP space.

The other talk was on database locking. I think the biggest eye opener for people in that talk was about how MVCC, found in Firebird, Oracle, InnoDB and PostreSQL, really works and how to control the behavior as needed.

Dabo 0.8 Released

Leave a comment

Dabo is a 3-tier, cross-platform application development framework, written in Python atop the wxPython GUI toolkit. And while Dabo is designed to create database-centricapps, that is not a requirement. Lots of people are using Dabo for theGUI tools to create apps that have no need to connect to a database atall.

Please see the change log for all the details, and grab Dabo 0.8 from the download page.

Currently, Dabo supports MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird and SQLite backends, but in the near future it will support all databases that have drivers that conform to the Python dbapi.
