IBSurgeon: FBScanner 2.5 Pro and Community Edition are released
We are glad to announce the new version of our FBScanner tool. In version 2.5 we have significantly increased feature set, usability and performance of FBScanner. Customers with more than 100 concurrent connections use FBScanner for daily administration of production systems and during QA/development stages. FBScanner is the only tool which can intercept and log all Firebird traffic, and show it in suitable format.
Download FBScanner 2.5 trial now.
As part of our development we continue to work at free Community Edition version of FBScanner, which is useful for debugging and testing purposes. Every Firebird developer who ever had questions like “What queries and transactions are performing right now in Firebird?” and “How do I know who is doing what.. in my Firebird?” should appreciate the variety of FBScanner Community Edition abilities.
Download FBScanner 2.5 CE now.
Please refer to feature matrix for detailed overview of FBScanner abilities.
Do not hesitate to contact IBSurgeon with any ideas, questions and problems you have. Write to support@ib-aid.com.
Firebird mention on Log Buffer #145: a Carnival of the Vanities for DBAs
Here is the text from this version of Buffer #145
It’s time to nominate Firebird for CCA 2009, SourceForge’s Community Choice Awards, says Firebird News. Firebird is nominated for Best Project, Best Tool or Utility for Developers, and Best Project for the Enterprise.
On Free Database: The Relational Databases Blog appears an embedded Firebird database overview. It begins, “I was looking for a small and powerful database in order to fulfill the requirements of my last project. Because the database will be running locally I took the decision to use an embedded database. After a few searches over the Internet and some embedded database comparison reviews, I found Firebird which is actually a powerful but unknown (yet) relational database system.”
On Compas Pascal, Lars Dybdahl makes some observations on the real-life latency of a Firebird server.

IBO “roadmap”
After a long “winter”, Jason Wharton (IBObjects author) has posted in IBO support list his plans for the next IBO releases. Check it out:
All,
I just released a new beta version of IBO. I put it in all file areas this time.
Mostly I just finished up converting the rest of the packages I had not yet converted to D2009 and I fixed a couple of the bugs on my plate. The goal of this version is to make the legacy version of IBO work in D2009 but much will remain to make it work as ideal as it should.
As soon as I knock out the remaining bugs I plan to fix and get the installer working for D2009 I will start working on IBO 5. It will be overhauled to work exclusively with Delphi 2009.
I will continue to merge fixes into the 4.x branch of source for all those not using D2009.
So, essentially, I have determined it will be best to maintain two separate source bases from then on. One to support prior versions of Delphi and one to focus on all future versions of Delphi that is extensively overhauled. Of course I will have to put together some kind of an application migration kit as well for when you want to make the jump from 4.x to 5.x.
I’m open to comments and suggestions.
Regards,
Jason Wharton
