Libgda 4.2.13 released with Firebird support (work is in progress)

Leave a comment

Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library: it is a
wrapper like ODBC but with more features to access several database
engines * features a meta data extractor (to know all about database
objects in a common way) comes with an SQL console application

Work is in progress for Firebird (Check the git tree). There is also a
special feature which allows one to connect to a database hidden
behing a web server (through specific PHP scripts) * LGPL licensed for
the libraries and GPL licensed for the tools.

See http://www.gnome-db.org for more information.

This post is some raw notes and is not very understandable by people who never worked with this code. In fact, the old implementation was so ugly that it was not simple even for me (who is constantly working in this area) to achieve this result. It needed many tries and reverts, but IMNSHO ended very well. Also, this was a large work that took many time, and I’m just writing some records here.

Testing Codeigniter with Firebird

Leave a comment

This was written on albringas.com :
I’ve been using Codeigniter as my development platform and framework of choice since last year. Being a ten year PHP developer, Codeigner was a refreshing way of coding web apps with PHP.

The first ones developments I did with Codeigniter were using MySQL, a very used database. But since I’ve also been using Firebird SQL Database from ten or more years ago, I decided to give a try to the Codeigniter-Firebird duo.
