CNET article about Mufin mentions Firebird

February 28, 2009 Cantu 4 comments

Another article about Mufin Music Player mentions Firebird:

The installation went smoothly, although it took a little more time than I expected because I had to download and install the open-source SQL Firebird desktop database.

fbsql: Clean client-libraries for Firebird and Interbase databases

February 27, 2009 mariuz Leave a comment

I’ve written this quite some time ago (and it didn’t receive much love since then, but it’s functional and should be bug-free), but I just noticed I haven’t mentioned it on my blog: fbsql is a clean C-API that can be used to create bindings for other languages (such as Python or Ruby). It’s much simpler to use than the raw Interbase/Firebird API and it uses IBPP internally. So it’s basically just forwarding the function calls to IBPP and abstracting the IBPP classes to a C interface that is straight forward and intuitive.
