Firebird related news
Someone on support list asked about identity column in Firebird and how it can be managed easier and i remembered that identity is already supported firebird 3.0 so i fired up flamerobin and created a table with new identity column type similar to MSSQL “identity”, MySQL “auto_increment” or PostgreSQL “serial”
All worked as in documentation đŸ™‚ inserting and selecting from the table no generators/triggers were needed to be created by hand
New ports for 2.1 and 2.5 are added in freebsd system
Wishing to every FirebirdNew’s visitor, and to all FB developers, a very happy Christmas and an awesome New Year!
I like the new style for ibphoenix , minor glitch is the firebird image in corner is quite blurry and should be replaced with higher quality image
also on my monitor is too small 1920×1080 and i have to do 3xCTRL+ to fit the screen, maybe a liquid layout should be applied (i will send the bug and the fix) . In rest is great maybe is too much white in background and the stripped green background should be a added back ?
Php 5.3.4 is released with the firebird driver enabled (for pdo too) but only for the Visual C++ 9 builds
(If you use Apache on Windows you should check if it’s build with VC9 before using the new builds , VC6 build driver is not available for the moment)
ps: apache lounge does have VC9 builds for Apache but i didn’t tested it yet
There was a small issue on building and installing the adapter and now is fixed. 0.5.10 version is now checked in and pushed to RubyGems.org.
Announced  Via twiter
Exclusive Christmas performance đŸ˜‰
I hope the guys will enjoy it!
