A rather big (and long overdue!) update of the Dutch and English nbackup manuals has just been committed (to trunk and B_Release) and published on the website.

Next task: Language Reference!

Just letting everyone know that we have ported Sakila Sample database to Firebird

Here is the project page

http://code.google.com/p/sakila-sample-database-ports

Now that is a long trip on the memory lane installing firebird v1 on a linux machine

I’ve just got v1 Firebird database running on a 64bit Suse linux machine. I feel EPIC.

I don’t know how hard it can be but you can try it just for fun

иконографияThanks to Damyan and Stefan work we have a perl driver that is free of compilation warnings and that passes all tests when you run it with make test from command line.
Here is the commit log with recent changes.

Great work, is nice to see:

All tests successful. Files=33, Tests=842, 52 wallclock secs ( 0.98 usr 0.15 sys + 9.99 cusr 1.37 csys = 12.49 CPU)
Result: PASS

And here is the proof you need to clone the git repository and run in the shell

ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey make test
