Installing qt4.5 with Firebird support on Ubuntu
Here are the notes for Installing qt4.5 with Firebird support and running the db demo (tested on ubuntu jaunty but it should work on intrepid too)
QT framework v4.5 to be released under LGPL
Thomas wrote this on the firebird-general mailing list
pretty off-topic here, but IMHO even interesting for Firebird users,
because Firebird/InterBase can be accessed via the QT framework.
Formerly licensed under GPL and a commercial license for closed source
development, releasing QT under LGPL is a very “interesting” move from
Nokia.
Especially for QT-based embedded devices, Firebird might be an
interesting option for an embeddable database, if:
* there is a stable Firebird specific (not the current InterBase one,
even if it might work now) QT SQL driver/module implementation available
* Firebird is cross-compilable for ARM, … (something which has been
discussed on firebird-devel from time to time. AFAIK, there is a private
ARM port of Firebird somewhere)
Ah well, just letting you know … 😉
Firebird Python Driver KInterbasDB 3.3 Released
Source and binary distributions for Windows are ready for download at
http://www.firebirdsql.org/index.php?op=devel&sub=python
Completely reworked and extended documentation is also available
on-line at http://www.firebirdsql.org/devel/python/docs/3.3.0/
There Are no binary Linux packages of
KInterbasDB, only Windows ones, because you can easily install
KInterbasDB on Linux from source package by using: python setup.py build
and install commands (Python version of make; make install). Everything
what you need for successful source install is GCC and Firebird
installed.
See this page for details .
Firebird RDBMS GUI Administration Tool gfb 1.0 released
This administration tool is targeted at Linux Operating System and written in pure C, with GTK and GLADE interface.
Compared with its former generation of kfb (written in qt) this application is much faster,
All libraries used in this application are open-sourced free software, and because of GTK’s lisence, this application itself is not required to be open-source, and can be used for any purposes free.
Many new functions have been added into this application since the publication of kfb, and gfb is based on Firebird 2.1.1
Data Protector for Firebird (For Tivoli Storage Manager)
This product will allow you to protect your Firebird / Interbase databases using existing “Tivoli Storage Manager” provided by IBM.
