Loading...Helen’s talk in Australia
From Malcon Groves blog (Borland): ADUG Symposium in Melbourne and Adelaide
The Australian Delphi Users Group have been holding yearly Symposia since 1999 (I remember as I had to catch an early flight back from the first one to get married the next day), and the lineup just gets better every year. This year it’ll be in Melbourne and Adelaide, and the sessions include:
* How to implement Plug-ins in .NET – Glenn Stephens
* Sweet-talking Firebird with Delphi – Helen Borrie
* Component Development in Delphi/VCL – Glenn Crouch
* Delphi.Net on Linux using Mono – Emlyn ORegan
I’ll be there talking about Devco and the future of Delphi, but to be honest I’m also excited just to sit in the audience for the day and listen to some really smart developers. Also, anyone who is doing anything with Interbase or Firebird needs to attend just to listen to Helen, she literally wrote the book on Firebird.

[ED:blog of the day is Ben Ward’s post about firebird vs sqlserver download sizes/requirements]
Originally, my Desktop Search application (‘Oak’) was to use a Microsoft SQL Server Express database backend. Full of glorious developer friendly features (like .NET integration) it is a powerhouse of a database.

DevCo (temporary name for the new company that will assume Borland IDE and InterBase) opened some emails to accept suggestions and questions from the community (a good step forward).
I sent to them 10 suggestions. The email is reproduced in my personal blog, in this post. I hope someone there accept at last some of the suggestions.

(No Ratings Yet)Loading...Temporary tables
From Dmitry Yemanov:
Implementation of the SQL-2003 compliant global temporary tables has been committed into the HEAD branch. This feature will be released in the next (post-v2.0) Firebird version. Design and implementation of the local temporary tables (both “defined” and “declared”, see the SQL specification for details) are being investigated, but there are no timeframes defined for that.
