Firebird developers can use Firebird events to notify clients about changes in database record data. In this article, I will show and discuss some limitations of Firebird events and compare possible workarounds with a solution based on message-oriented middleware.

Here are the source code changes for Firebird 2.5.x branch in the Month of October :
– Fix compilation for semaphore classes [57221]
– Backport fix for CORE-3946 – UNICODE collations does not work with ICU 49 [57236]
– Fixed the backporting bug introduced while fixing CORE-3902 [57244]
– Avoid a sweep pass for temporary tables, as the sweeper always sees those tables as empty, but even setting them up as empty has a non-zero cost [57265]
The beta version of the IBPhoenix Replicator V4.1 is now available for public testing. Documentation in PDF format. An evaluation key, valid for two weeks, can be accessed via the following web page on ibphoenix.com.

Although I am skeptical about the need for an android port for Jaybird,
I have decided that I am going to spend some time to investigate the
problems involved in porting Jaybird to android.
To that end, I would like to hear if anyone has tried this before, and
what problems arose when trying to do that. Either reply here, or add
your comment to http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/JDBC-280
Henry Gourvest announced that node-firebird version 0.1.0 is released :
I made a major update on this project.
I radically changed the api to conform to what is usually done with node.js and databases. In particular, the error handling. Take a look on the readme file.
You can install or update from npmjs .

From the FBCon 10 session videos another one is uploaded: ODS related optimizations in Firebird 3
Presentation By Vlad Khorsun. Session contents: Major change. ODS12 contains a few important features to make some IO-hungry operations such as sweep and natural scan more efficient. I’ll show in detail what was changed and how these changes will affect performance.
This is a very easy task in FreePascal/Lazarus.
Sparky from Firebird Conference 2008 in Italy, Bergamo. Made by Helen Borrie. Originally auctioned by SMS-Timing for 750 EUR. They are now offering it for re-auction and all the money will go back to Firebird Foundation.
Sparky is intact, undamaged and of course unharmed. It was well fed all the time. 🙂
