SplendidCRM on FirebirdSQL demo page and Database structure
SplendidCRM (version C# of SugarCRM) is ported from MSSQL over to
FirebirdSQL 2.5.2
It is in a “testable” debug version on this url http://zeos.tetrasys.eu
username : user
password : user
This changes from the usual will/will 🙂
It is the “community” version and I would like to have your feedback on their added value in a CRM, before carrying over the enterprise modules.
Two precision/information points:
1) One is on a small DSL in Finland, so your GSM has more disponibility and bandwidth
2) the data structure is available for viewing here http://blog.tetrasys.eu/zeos-firebirdsql-structure.aspx
Your comments are welcome 🙂

I will add one more comment from the Firebird porter :
Thanks to Firebird, the memory and processing space has been reduced with two thirds when migrated from MSSQL to FirebirdSQL.
Why don’t everybody switch over to Firebird? 🙂
ZeosLib 7.0.3 stable for Delphi/Lazarus is released

New IBExpertBenchmark tool: Compare your db server performance on different hardware, OS’s and Firebird server version
Have you ever tried to compare the database speed of your Firebird server with new server hardware? Is a XEON Machine better than an Opteron? What improvements can you expect from fast SAS hard disks, RAID controllers or Enterprise SSDs? Is SuperClassic really better than Superserver?
We’ve created a new tool which offers a reproducible speed index for your computer working as a Firebird Server: IBExpertBenchmark

My First Firebird and Python application
Ido Kanner (ik_5) wrote on his blog about his First Firebird and Python application :
It’s that time of the year again – I’m required to learn new technology due to a project requirement.
The requirement is to write something using django, but I do not know django or Python.
So I’ve started my first project using the Python language, just to have a feel for it.
