About FB support in Delphi Weaver
The first session was a “state of the art” keynote by David I, of Embarcadero Technologies. He covered the status of the company (the new owner of Delphi, since the event last year) and its the commercial offering, but delved also in the Delphi Roadmap announced recently (at the San Jose conference, as covered by this blog), demononstrated gesture support in a Delphi Weaver application and also the new Firebird native dbExpress driver. This is the first time this was shown in public, as far as I know.

Embarcadero Tools and FB
I’m at Delphi Day 2009 , naturally in Italy. This morning I follow an introduction session held by David Intersimone. And after some slide finally he asnwer me a last year question: “when you will support firebird?”
I saw some slide from Rapid SQL and other Embarcadero tools where there is a new item:
FIREBIRD
He showed us how connect to a fdb, insert, list, delete data with a simple grid+dbnavigator in delphi….
I suppose this is a good news!… or not?…

PowerConsole 0.7 is released
I’m happy to announce the public release of PowerConsole v0.7.
What is PowerConsole
In short, PowerConsole is enhanced python interpreter that can host user defined commands. Uses pyparsing-based grammars for user commands to translate them into python calls, so it has limited support for mixing them with Python code.
Music/Book/Movie Label uses Firebird
The three media catalog softwares from CodeAero uses Firebird 2.1 as database engine.
