February 24, 2014 IBSurgeon News Leave a comment

IBSurgeon is glad to announce the new version of Firebird and InterBase database recovery tool: FirstAID 3.7.

FirstAID 3.7 introduces new approaches in the database recovery and many new features:

export data from a corrupted database directly to the empty database with the same structure
borrow metadata from an old good database copy (or FBDataGuard repository) to recover extremely corrupted databases
faster analysis and recovery of very big databases
free preview of data in the corrupted databases: what you see is what you [will] get
2 levels of recovery: fast in-place fix with FirstAID Direct or thorough export with FirstAID Extractor
Support of Firebird 1.0-2.5 and InterBase 4.x, 6.x, 7.1, 7.5, 2007, 2009, XE, XE3
Improved licensing

We recommend upgrading to FirstAID 3.7 for all users of FirstAID 1.0-2.x (users of 3.x have already received upgrades).

Upgrade options are listed here: http://ib-aid.com/products/developer/upgrades

FirstAID for 5 databases: EUR 99/USD129
FirstAID for 50 databases: EUR 299/USD399

How can we increase passion in Firebird users/developers

February 13, 2014 mariuz Leave a comment

There is long thread on increasing the passion in Firebird users (Or how can we improve the project).
Alternate threaded view is on gmane.

I liked this response about the long Firebird 3.0 release cycle

To be fair, V3 involved massive changes to the code base – breaking the server into pluggable
pieces so it can handle multiple versions without hugely complicating the code, plus fine grained
multi-threading, plus new security features essential for a contemporary database) and dozens
of other major features.

There are more changes in Firebird V3 than any version I can think of since InterBase V1 to
InterBase V3 … maybe excepting V3 to V4 which added Windows support and SuperServer.
It’s an amazing feat for such a small group, and all the changes are critically important if Firebird
is to succeed in the next decade.

Best regards,

Ann
