rsyslog 3.11.2 (Development) with firebird support added

Rsyslog is an enhanced multi-threaded syslogd. Among other features, it offers support for on-demand disk buffering, reliable syslog over TCP, writing to MySQL and PostgreSQL databases, fully configurable output formats (including great timestamps), the ability to filter on any part of the syslog message, and on-the-wire message compression. It is designed as a drop-in replacement for stock syslogd and thus is able to work with the same configuration file syntax. Of course, some enhanced features require changing the configuration file, but in general, this should be fairly easy.

Release focus: Major feature enhancements

Playing with Django and Firebird

I’ve been messing around with Django for a while now and having fun. It reminded me of why and how I got started in this field.

[ED:There is an nice firebird mention ]

Using Apache, Webware and Firebird as the database I set out to build something.

Firebird? Yes anything to avoid the MySQL bandwagon. I couldn’t say for sure now, but at the time Firebird was far superior to MySQL. The Firebird team didn’t think that ACID properties, foreign key constraints, stored procedures etc. were just some esoteric optional extras for something with pretensions to being an RDBMS.

DATASUS using Firebird

Firebird is being used (and distributed) in several applications produced by DataSUS. SUS is the name of the unified public health system in Brazil. DataSUS is the department responsible for the development of computer applications, etc.

The applications are used in hospitals spreaded in the whole country. You can find several references of Firebird in DataSUS site, like here and here. Probably there are thousands of Firebird servers running only in the Brazilian’s hospitals.
