Reflections on Perl and DBI from an Early Contributor

Leave a comment

The name Buzz Moschetti probably isn’t familiar to you. Buzz was the author of the Perl 4 database for Interbase known as Interperl.

Back in those days Perl 5 was barely a twinkle in Larry’s eye and database interfaces for Perl 4 required building a custom perl binary.

ps: Interabase & Firebird contributed stable api not only in the c and  Delphi/Lazarus world but also in the Perl one with one of the first best drivers

DDL Execution Architecture

Leave a comment

Adriano posted about DDL execution artchitecture, its flaws and new improvements for FB 3.

Here I’m going to explain how Firebird DDL commands works in the architecture, why it stops innovation and how it is supposed to work in Firebird 3.0.

DDL in FB works more or less like DML, so first a briefly explanation of how DML works. When a DML command is prepared, it starts in the parser constructing a tree of nodes. That nodes are all a single pointer type, used for all node types and others usages (like storing constants). A node have a list of child nodes.

Real full post here.
