BlackFish is Dead , Firebird as Embedded Database replacement
Marco Canto noticed that
BlackFish SQL, the .NET database installed with recent versions of Delphi, is not part of Delphi XE… and it seems Embarcadero pulled the plug on it.
Would Firebird fit the bill ? , I think it would but tell us your thoughts (pro/cons) :
I really think Delphi has lacked a local and simple option, and suggesting people to buy the cheap “Interbase To Go” or pick the free Firebird Embedded still doesn’t address the original concern. With Delphi core dataset classes and data-ware controls still bound to a navigational model, a navigational database can really make simple applications fast to write and fast to execute.
Seamless support for Boolean and GUID datatypes in Firebird and Entity Framework
It may came as a shock but Firebird does not have direct support for neither bools nor guids. On the other hand people around Firebird are smart and came with more or less standard solutions for both.
