Entity Framework and Firebird Embedded
Did you ever think about how cool would be to have fully featured SQL database, without installation (just xcopy) and with Entity Framework support?
I was wondering whether the Entity Framework support I’m creating in FirebirdClient will work with Embedded version. Taking into account that the communication layers are under the EF support, there should be no problem. But you’ll never be sure until you try it. 😉 And it works.

Firebird 2.5 beta 1 – windows kits reuploaded
Kits for Windows were all replaced today to include some components that were missing. The new kits have the infix “-1” or “_1” after the build number, e.g. “Firebird-2.5.0.23247_1_Win32_Beta1.exe”.

Binding TCollections to paginating ListViews
Part two of the Delphi and pagination article , this time with TCollections
In my previous article, I wrote about a method to paginate data shown in a ListView.
Now, I want to extend its reach by replacing TDataSets by TCollections.
ListView and Pagination in Delphi + Firebird
Via Leonardo’s Delphi and FreePascal blog
This is one of those things I needed for ages, but didn’t bothered to implement
because I thought it could require an unnecessary amount of work, and allways
opted for a less perfectionist method.I’m talking about a method to retrieve data in Pages, then browse it in a ListView
transparently for the user.
