Django Firebird updates – now with support for introspection ready for Django 1.5 final
Hi folks,
I just updated the google code version with fixes in introspection. It was backported from github version [1]
So, I encourage to try both but mainly the version at github with the new fdb driver [2].
In that way, we can have our new django-firebird adapter almost stable for release along with the final release of django 1.5.

Firebird Python driver FDB 0.9.9 is released
FDB release 0.9.9 (a.k.a. almost final) is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb
New Features:
– Firebird ARRAY support.
Other changes:
– Cursor.execute() returns Self, so it could be used as iterator.
– Reading output from Services now uses more efficient method to get data from server.
Bugs Fixed:
– Fix: precision_cache in Connection works as intended.
This was supposed to be 1.0 final release, but I’ve decided to make 1.0
mode optimized. So 0.9.9 is feature complete driver, and 1.0 release
planed for January 2013 would contain only optimizations (and bug fixes
if needed).
best regards

32/64 bit ODBC Firebird Driver Matrix
I have made a 32/64 bit ODBC Firebird Driver Matrix that could help you choose the right
Firebird odbc driver
Odbc driver must be configured in the corresponding driver admin
(32 bit odbc fb driver = 32 bit ODBC admin)
(64 bit odbc fb driver = 64 bit ODBC admin)
Starting ODBC Administrator can be done from the following dirs on 64 bit systems:
32bit version: \Windows\SysWOW64\odbcad32.exe
64bit versiom: \Windows\System32\odbcad32.exe
Firebird client (32 or 64 bit) can talk to any Firebird server (32 or 64 bit).
