Firebird Eclipse DTP Plugin Version 1.0.2 released

3 comments

This is a Bugfix version  and can be downloaded from here http://www.lawinegevaar.nl/firebird

Fixes:

  • Loading of multi-action triggers
  • Column loading for tables containing blobs
  • Loading of constraints
  • Loading of index columns
  • Order of indices in DDL generation
  • Linebreaks in DDL stored procedures and triggers
  • DDL generation for sequences
  • Leave delegation to plugin config, don’t hardcode

Gotcha’s:

  • Largely untested (only minor testing done under Eclipse 3.5.2 with DTP 1.7.2 and Eclipse 3.6.2 with DTP 1.8.2)

Status of PHP PDO_Firebird as of May 2011

Leave a comment

Working both with Firebird SQL and PDO (but not yet at the same time) I am interested in the combination of both.
According to the documentation the extension is still in experimental status, but I was still curious about how far it has progressed. I decided to redo the experiments Lorenzo Alberton did in an article in 2006.

I performed these tests on PHP Version 5.3.6 with Firebird 2.5 on a Windows 7 machine.

Which embedded database has maximum SQL compliance, and concurrency support?

Leave a comment

One happy firebird user looking for a cool Sql Embeeded Database and is ditching Microsoft Access too

I did trials with Firebird, and it really does seem very good, zero admin, and SQL compliant. It is fast, and I had no problems in any of the typical queries I could try on it. I am very satisfied with it, and hopefully will use it for the project for which I raised this question.Hopefully Advantage Server too will be good, but could not get time to review it. After reviewing/using Firebird do not feel any need to try anything else.

Who is using Firebird and #Debian Humanistisch Instituut voor Ontwikkelingssamenwerking

The organisation uses Debian GNU/Linux on half of their servers, i.e. about 10 systems.

It is used for two web servers, for the mail server and on a system for project administration, running a Firebird database. Debian was chosen since it’s the ultimate form of Open Source, and reliable as well. Since Hivos works for creating a better world, fights poverty and uses No Borders for People as its motto, choosing Debian is natural.

 

Firebird nagios plugin written in #python

Leave a comment

At work we use a lot of Firebird databases, and so far our system admins checked the availability of a Firebird Database by simply trying to connect via telnet to the port 3050 and see if they would get a response. With this kind of check you can’t really determine if the database is really up and running,

Therefore they asked me if I could write a plugin for nagios which would do a real check to ensure that the Databases are up and running, here is my result.

I chose to write the plugin in python, due it’s simplicity, and because I already wrote some script using the python-kinterbasdb extension
