IBDeveloper magazines now on-line

One comment

From Firebird Surgeon blog:

As you know, IBSurgeon was a publisher of “The InterBase and Firebird Developer Magazine” (or shortly IBDeveloper) in 2005 and 2006. There were 4 issues which attracted a lot of interest (up to 20000 of readers) but at that time there was no way to monetize it, so IBSurgeon decided to close the magazine as a redundant line of business.

Now we’ve put all issues of IBDeveloper to Scribd for easy reading and full text search indexing. You know, there are still “all times greatest hits” articles and materials (like one regarding locking in Firebird by Ann W. Harrison in Issue 2).

FirebirdNews – adding interactivity

8 comments

I have updated the FirebirdNews site with two new WordPress plugins, allowing people to reply comments, and vote for posts. Both options are very easy to use, and probably you already noticed how to use them šŸ˜‰

The intention is that FirebirdNews readers also participate/interact with the site. Go on! Vote for your preferred posts, and don’t hesitate to post comments if you think you have something to say!

FirebirdClient and InterBase – Short Answer NO is not supported

Leave a comment

Jiri is getting more and more support request from people who try to connect to Interbase ! with Firebird .net client.The short answer is that Firebird driver is for Firebird database only and we can’t support Interbase too

Wondering what changed on Earth in last, say, four weeks. Iā€™m getting more than average (read: more than zero) emails, asking whether FirebirdClient works with InterBase. Similarly in mailing list.

Dr. Dobbs published a review of the new Delphi 2010, and mentions the new official support for Firebird:

RAD Studio 2010 database drivers have also been updated to support the latest well-known name SQL DBMS’s including IBM DB2 8, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, MySQL 5.1 and Oracle 11g. Also added to this release is support for the sexy, high-performance, open-source Firebird 1.5 RDBMS, showing that Embarcadero is hip with the times by not standing idle with just supporting updates for the entrenched players.
