Firebird Conference 2010 – “live” feed watch the hashtag #FbCon10
The conference is starting today. I’ll write here during the days about what’s going on. Read it from bottom to top. Also check Twitter with hashtag #FbCon10 for most recent quick messages.
The Decline of #MySQL and Rise of Firebird SQL
The decline will not be immediate, it will take some time, notably Apache distributions like XAMPP and WAMP will have to offer users alternatives to MySQL, as most developers use these packages, instead of installing products independently. All is not lost, the Open Source community has plenty of options. There are two well established alternatives to MySQL: PostgreSQL and Firebird. Both have large established communities, and support of major corporations. One of these will become the next MySQL

Good news everyone : Firebird #php driver will be back in #windows install kit for php 5.3.4
Pierre Joye (Team Leader for windows.php.net) wrote on windows php building list : (someone
asked about the ldap extension)
5.3.4 should have it. There are other missing extensions but some of
them will never be restored (like *spell for example). Firebird was
the last one actually missing and should be back in 5.3.4.
#Monodroid :Connecting from Android to Firebird with .NET provider for #Mono
From Jiri’s blog
Remember the challenge I did some time ago with .NET provider for Firebird and MonoTouch? Well because I’ve got access to previews of MonoDroid, why not to try the same here?
Default transaction in a #php application
By default, the transactions are IBASE_WAIT, so it waits until the record is no longer edited. You have to start a transaction with the IBASE_NOWAIT option to get an immediate response in a deadlock situation.
One example is a php application waiting for desktop app (administration tool) to finish the transaction
When I try to update a record that’s edited in a desktop app or IBexpert, and there is a deadlock, ibase_execute just hangs, does not return any value nor raises an exception.
