BlackFish is Dead , Firebird as Embedded Database replacement

Leave a comment

Marco Canto noticed that

BlackFish SQL, the .NET database installed with recent versions of Delphi, is not part of Delphi XE… and it seems Embarcadero pulled the plug on it.

Would Firebird fit the bill ? , I think it would but tell us your thoughts (pro/cons) :

I really think Delphi has lacked a local and simple option, and suggesting people to buy the cheap “Interbase To Go” or pick the free Firebird Embedded still doesn’t address the original concern. With Delphi core dataset classes and data-ware controls still bound to a navigational model, a navigational database can really make simple applications fast to write and fast to execute.

Is it possible to write a similar Firebird database driver?

Leave a comment

Today we are (IBProvider team) overwhelmingly happy because we have finally released the final build of the 3rd version of IBProvider.

Is it possible to write a similar database driver?

Of course, you can write it! All you need is a strong desire and 7 years of free time. Exactly the same time it took us to write the third version of IBProvider.

Please read about development results here and download new Firebird driver here:

#ASP + Firebird: #VisualBasicScript, #JavaScript and #PerlScript

Leave a comment

In our example I’ll show you how to use ASP to access a Firebird database via VisualBasicScript, JavaScript and PerlScript. Although not my favorite language, ASP will serve to illustrate the example. Also note that ASP uses ADO technology to access the database. This involves several “layers” so that access occurs.
Of course this may make access a little slow, but not the object of this article. It also assumes that the reader knows the ASP technology.
