SQL Maestro Group announces the release of Firebird Data Sync 12.2, a powerful and easy-to-use tool for Firebird database contents comparison and synchronization. |
Major features of the new version include comparison of database views and subsets of data, automatic checking of mappings, and exporting the comparison results to 18 file formats including Excel and HTML. There are also versions for other DBMS (MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, Oracle, etc).
The Document Foundation announces LibreOffice 3.5, the third major release of “the best free office suite ever”, which shows to end users the improvements derived from the development strategy adopted since September 2010.
LibreOffice 3.5 derives from the combined effort of full time hackers – the largest group of experienced OOo code developers –and volunteer hackers, coordinated by the Engineering Steering Committee.
Related to Firebird there is the ODBC linux 64 bug killed .
Also the db with no bool support (Firebird 2.5) issue is done
Quote of the day is via this thread on Firebird Java Group :
It would be good if Jaybird 2.3 could be used with embedded and
LibreOffice because the feature set in Firebird is obviously much, much greater
than HSQL or the proposed SQLite replacement.
The ability to create a zeroconf, transportable data file is of interest to me
(along with using iReport to generate printouts from that file).
OT: Personally I think that Jaybird / Firebird / Firebird embedded is the way to
go for LibreOffice instead of the very limited SQLite. The ability to upscale
from a single file application to a client/server one is a killer.
Update:Firebird Driver and Embedded version merged into LibreOffice git master

Nikolay Samofatov wrote about his Large Iron production systems that he maintains :
We run Firebird to power larger systems (for 12 government agencies and 3 banks).
It has approximately 100000 end users multiplexed through 2500 (max) pooled connections.
Here is the snapshot of nearly idle system at night:
top - 03:20:39 up 10 days, 8:39, 7 users, load average: 2.08, 1.87, 2.15 Tasks: 1732 total, 1 running, 1730 sleeping, 1 stopped, 0 zombie Cpu(s): 11.9%us, 4.0%sy, 0.0%ni, 83.5%id, 0.0%wa, 0.0%hi, 0.6%si, 0.0%st Mem: 529177288k total, 378587600k used, 150589688k free, 761532k buffers Swap: 1073741816k total, 130612k used, 1073611204k free, 333281232k cached [root mvv bin]# ps aux | grep -c rdb_inet_server 719
Database is on a small FusionIO drive:
mount: /dev/fiob on /mnt/db type ext2 (rw,noatime) df -h: /dev/fiob 587G 423G 135G 76% /mnt/db
Also later he mentions that he uses 2TB of RAM machines
Chipsets that can handle 2 TB of RAM and 8 CPU sockets (<=80 cores, <=160 threads) are the largest “commodity” type hardware available now. These are the largest systems we worked on. 8 GB of lock manager space per database should be just enough for them. With the allocation error check in place we’ll have this problem solved for the next year or two until larger systems become common.

I’ve improved the http://netprovider.cincura.net/ . It’s now returning
version build from latest SVN sources (so it’s actually snapshot
builds now). Again could be unstable, not a good idea to put it to
production.
PS: It’s reading the build from my internal CI server, that is really
old and really not very powerful. Please try not to push it to the
limit.
