The good news is that the recently announced falcon storage engine should have a FULLTEXT engine that rocks. After explaining the situation a bit more, we decided that in the mean time a 64-bit MySQL with a ton of RAM is probably the only viable solution.
I finally bumped into Jim this morning at the MySQL UC and had a chance to talk with him. The initial conversation was about the meetup, which he gracefully agreed to come to sometime this summer (July/August). Beyond that was a great conversation about where MySQL is now, where Falcon fits in, and some of Jim’s ideas about a variety of things including DBAs, stored procedures, data types, and the SQL standard. He’s got some refreshing views on database technology and is an enjoyable person to talk with. This interview from 2003 captures a bit of Jim’s approach to database problems.
I have created two new support Forums, they are Linux/Unix and Windows. These forums are for discussing Firebird on specific OSs.

When working with Firebird in .NET I’ve been collecting Firebird errors and exceptions and their causes. It saved me a lot of time because the exceptions usually came again… I’m sharing my list here – if you have something to add don’t hesitate and add a comment.
A few days ago I was trying to deploy my web app, which is using Firebird .NET Data Provider with design time stuff too. There was some problem with this, so I’ve created small how-to.

Problem is the installer for firebird 2.0 rc1 currently changes permissions on /etc/services file to 600 and permisions need to be 644.
This has been posted on Firebird Devel List and is patched.
I will repost it here so others have less problems finding it.

After the “Creating Firebird database programatically (Delphi)” post I’ve created the “Creating Firebird database programatically (C#/.NET)” example.
