The iBATIS.NET team announced March1, 2007 that the BETA releaseof DataAccess V1.9.1 and DataMapper V1.6.1 [beta status] are now available.

This release includes bug fixes and enhancements.

The iBATIS Data Mapper framework makes it easier to use a database with Java and .NET applications. iBATIS couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a XML descriptor. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the iBATIS DataMapper over object relational mapping tools.

To use the iBATIS Data Mapper, you rely on your own objects, XML, and SQL. There islittle to learn that you don’t already know. With the iBATIS Data Mapper, you have the full power of both SQL and stored procedures at your fingertips.

And, of course, iBATIS supports Firebird.

SQLObject is an object-relational mapper for python. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with.

SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Firebird. It also has newly added support for Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).

Return value from Firebird.createTable() was fixed in this release. For complete list of changes, please see the news.
