Hi, what follows are my personal thoughts after reading Dmitry Yemanov’s comments to a great poll posted at Firebirdnews about the features people would like to see implemented.
This is a great presentation, Jim throws in a lot of database history and insight into working with MySQL
I have a FB server running on mipsel now – superserver debug version, in
a chroot over NFS, but anyway, it seems to work at first glance. I was
able to run the script to create our production database.
Is there any regression test I could try to run?
Best regards,
Fabrice Aeschbacher
I have a HP Proliant ML350 with 2x80G HD (admitably bit of an overkill for my needs) which I am using as a file server for an office comprising of about 10 PC’s. Currently the OS is Fedora 4. I have firebird database running as the backend of a point of sale software.
He talked about Falcon, the new storage engine for MySQL An video will be uploaded soon
Work undertaken:
Today I created a small VS 2005 demo project in order to understand how to silently deploy and update an embedded Firebird database using ClickOnce technology. This helped me to gain a basic understanding of the key concepts. Tomorrow I intend to continue this work by considering some more advanced scenarios.

Igor is doing great work on moving forward the XML based database schema format originally developed by Manuel Lemos as part of Metabase that is used in MDB2_Schema. [ED…skiped some content]The idea behind this schema format is to make it possible to define a single database schema that can be used to create, alter and initialize databases in any number of RDBMS. For example currently MDB2_Schema supports MySQL, PostGreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Interbase/Firebird.

I’ve just released a new experimental site: http://www.firebirdquestions.net/.
It is a searchable and browsable archive of firebird-net-provider mailing list.

I can proudly announce that this release of the OpenDBX library contains a fully featured and stable backend for firebird/interbase database servers which works well with both, the classic server and the newer firebird threaded server (often called “firebird super server”). Using the firebird/interbase client library correctly is one of the more challenging tasks and therefore great news for the OpenDBX project.
