Using the Firebird 3.0 API with Delphi

Leave a comment

Pierre Yager announced on firebird-devel new version of UIB with Firebird 3.0 API support:

Thanks to Vlad, we achieved the translation of the FB3 OO API in UIB
Components for Delphi.

You can checkout the code from SourceForge repository :

https://uib.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/uib/trunk

Future for Python driver merging the pure driver with the ctypes interface to Firebird.

Those who attended my “Python drivers” session at conference in
Luxembourg already know that last two months I have worked on another
Python driver for Firebird (codename fdb). It was just an experiment how
far I could go in short time with another approach to implementation,
not real attempt to replace both existing drivers (KInterbasDB and
firebirdsql). However, it went so well, that we have a real chance to
get out a truly universal pure Python driver for Firebird next year.
Here are details…
