FBDataGuard 2.7: major update of Firebird moniotring and database protection tool
FBDataGuard was just updated to the version 2.7. Download it from your IBSurgeon Deploy Center account or get trial version from the product page.
Please schedule upgrade of your production system (please do upgrade carefully and plan all your actions).
Changes in version 2.7 include support for modern browsers in FBDataGuard web-console, fixed bugs and improved performance.
FBDataGuard is intended to be automatic maintainer and administrator assistant for important Firebird databases, especially at remote locations and being bundled with Firebird-based software.
FBDataGuard is designed to provide stability and confidence in business-critical Firebird databases:
- prevent outages and corruptions,
- reduce downtime and performance problems,
- monitor database health and automate maintenance,
- provide alerts and recommendations.
Also it can be used for advanced database recovery of protected database in case of heavy corruption (e.g., caused by hardware failure).
FDB Python driver release 0.7.1 is out
FDB release 0.7.1 is out:
This is mostly bugfix release. The main notable difference is that now FDB works on Windows (0.7.0 wasn’t) and is operational “enough” to power the Firebird QA tools. So the forthcoming Firebird 2.0.7 release (scheduled for February) will be tested using FDB.
