Firebird,the sexy RDBMS ;-)

September 23, 2009 Cantu 2 comments

Dr. Dobbs published a review of the new Delphi 2010, and mentions the new official support for Firebird:

RAD Studio 2010 database drivers have also been updated to support the latest well-known name SQL DBMS’s including IBM DB2 8, Microsoft SQL Server 2008, MySQL 5.1 and Oracle 11g. Also added to this release is support for the sexy, high-performance, open-source Firebird 1.5 RDBMS, showing that Embarcadero is hip with the times by not standing idle with just supporting updates for the entrenched players.

September 19, 2009 mariuz Leave a comment

If you’ve followed my advice and upgraded to Firebird 2.1.3 only to find you’re now getting consistent “invalid BLOB ID” messages I have to tell you something. Besides ‘I’m sorry’.
