CakePHP RC3 – The RC of Triumph!

It’s finally here: the final release before the final release of
CakePHP 1.2 [ED:Tested and works just fine with Firebird 2.1]

Some of you may remember the benchmarks posted by Rasmus Lerdorf, in
which CakePHP did not perform so well. We can all debate Rasmus’ due
diligence (or lack of), but what was clear was that we had some
catching up to do. Over the past few weeks, Larry has worked
tirelessly on iteration after iteration of performance improvements,
and now we’re faster than ever before. By itself, the bootstrap
process is over 10x faster than RC2, and basic requests for static
content are now about 5x faster overall.

Progress on the Entity Framework Provider for Firebird

Today, after some days/weeks, I finally created some noticable (= not only internals) progress with Entity Framework provider for Firebird.

Now, the provider is able to use, map, call, … stored procedures (and functions [very experimental]). You can select stored procedures from database, map these to some operations in EF, create “function imports” etc. You can see this working on picture:

Firebird 1.5 SQL Temporary Reference Update

This guide documents the changes made in Firebird 1.0 and 1.5 SQL since the fork from the open-sourced InterBase 6.0 codebase.

Here is the Pual Vinkenoog’s announcement on firebird-docs list

Just uploaded a Firebird 1.5 SQL Update Reference to this temporary location:

This is NOT ready for publication yet, but all the entries are there and (AFIACT) correct, except maybe in one or two places where I have to contact the developers for clarification.

I’ll commit the DocBook sources to the repository and build a version for publication. After that, I’ll start working on update refs for 2.0 and 2.1. After that, I guess we must take the 2.1 ref and start expanding it to a complete Firebird SQL reference. This last step may take some time 😉 Read more
