New gbak manual uploaded

Updated gbak manual to mention that -z option will backup your database and overwrite the backup file.
Creating access control into Lazarus + Firebird applications
This is a getting started article (written in Portuguese) from a series of articles related to Firebird and Lazarus
In the first part it’s explained how to install Lazarus and Firebird/Flamerobin on Ubuntu
I have been implementing the access control on my applications. It is a simple model, I have been “improving” since I started the program and always adapting to the new reality that has been presented. Not the last word on programming, but I believe it can be a good start for those who want to implement something from scratch.
pyfirebirdsql 0.3.3: python dbapi for firebird is released
pyfirebirdsql will become the next Firebird Python driver
Philippe Makowski wrote on the firebird-python list
The driver is hosted on github https://github.com/nakagami/pyfirebirdsql
First thanks Hajime Nakagami for your job
I really thinks that we need to put our effort on this driver so it became the Firebird Python driver instead of Kinterbasdb
here few points I saw :
– need a change in setup.py so install work
– transactions parameter we need the possibility to send custom transaction parameter buffers, for what I saw today transactions are (isc_tpb_write, isc_tpb_wait, isc_tpb_read_committed, isc_tpb_rec_version)
– need documentation
– can we extend it or create a new module to work with trace api ?
….
ps after a small change in setup.py I will certainly package it for
Mageia and Fedora
