Poor man’s full-text search using PSQL only on Firebird

Article by Jiří {x2} Činčura:

I was presenting this idea on this year’s Firebird Conference. It’s an idea, working with some constraints of Firebird, but one can take it as an inspiration and maybe extend it to another usage on another platform. We had quite a productive discussion about possible improvements (I’ll describe mines at the end), but unless the people will provide the ideas in comments here too, you’ll have to use your own brain (you should’ve been there ;)).

I’ll show you the initial idea with some simple speed improvement of PSQL code itself. And then describe options in how to store it better, mostly because it’s very specific to needs and you’ll need to tune it for your scenario.

Firebird Branch for C++11 support

Adriano dos Santos Fernandes wrote on Firebird-Devel

Hi!

I created a branch for the C++11 usage proposal.

The branch is not for active development, it’s just so others can play,
test and discuss.

The features are described here:
https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/work/c%2B%2B11/doc/README.modern_cpp.md

I didn’t found explicit mentioning support of the function features per
compiler, but seems very basic feature for lambdas so I put it there.

I tested in clang++ 3.8.0, g++ 5.4.0 and MSVC 14.

Firebird SQL Stored procedures in .NET

Jiří Činčura wrote on Firebird-devel : There’s something I’ve been working on for a few evenings and weekends.
As you might know, from Firebird 3 there’s and interface to write a
plugin that allows to execute any code as stored procedure, function or
trigger.

So why not to have these in .NET, right? I have a working plugin right
now. Currently only stored procedures are supported. No blobs at the
moment as well
