Editline is updated in Firebird 3.0 isql console client with UTF-8 support

Leave a comment

Editline is used in Firebird isql console client , the last version is already imported in firebird 3.0

https://github.com/asfernandes/firebird/tree/master/extern/editline

So it brings UTF-8 support at last in the console with a few patches

http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-362

Thanks to Frank Schlottmann-Gödde for his efforts

ps:It’s history in Firebird tree is a little bit convoluted http://firebird.1100200.n4.nabble.com/firebird-devel-Editline-digging-into-not-just-cmdline-history-was-qmtesting-td1124010.html

Using Jaybird with Firebird 3.0 alpha 1

Leave a comment

Mark Rotteveel wrote on Firebird Java list :

I have started a page on the Jaybird wiki on using Jaybird with Firebird

3.0 alpha 1:

http://jaybirdwiki.firebirdsql.org/jaybird/doku.php?id=tip:firebird30a1

It lists know problems, compatibility issues and workarounds between
Jaybird 2.2.x and earlier and Firebird 3 (alpha 1).

It is a work in progress, but I hope to have all the basics listed by
Sunday. If you miss something, or something doesn’t work for you with
Firebird 3, let me know.

Firebird Driver and Embedded version merged into LibreOffice git master

Leave a comment

Changes to libreoffice and firebird driver can be seen in the git log

And here is announcement :

Firebird has now been integrated into LibreOffice master!

It now builds on Mac and Windows in addition to Linux. (I’ve only tested on Linux but will be testing/fixing as necessary on Mac/Windows this week.)

The database driver itself is almost unusable at the moment as I’ve been refactoring various things to do with transaction control and execution of statements. More and more functionality should be appearing in the course of this week, making the driver more usable .
