Today I created a small VS 2005 demo project in order to understand how to silently deploy and update an embedded Firebird database using ClickOnce technology. This helped me to gain a basic understanding of the key concepts. Tomorrow I intend to continue this work by considering some more advanced scenarios.

Igor is doing great work on moving forward the XML based database schema format originally developed by Manuel Lemos as part of Metabase that is used in MDB2_Schema. [ED…skiped some content]The idea behind this schema format is to make it possible to define a single database schema that can be used to create, alter and initialize databases in any number of RDBMS. For example currently MDB2_Schema supports MySQL, PostGreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Interbase/Firebird.

I’ve just released a new experimental site: http://www.firebirdquestions.net/.
It is a searchable and browsable archive of firebird-net-provider mailing list.

I can proudly announce that this release of the OpenDBX library contains a fully featured and stable backend for firebird/interbase database servers which works well with both, the classic server and the newer firebird threaded server (often called “firebird super server”). Using the firebird/interbase client library correctly is one of the more challenging tasks and therefore great news for the OpenDBX project.

On ubuntu linux i use encfs to create an virtual partition where i put my databases (and email, im logs) , Here is an howto create such an partition . On windows (i didn’t tested yet) but i heard about truecrypt (is an open source product). Here is an quote from their faq
Q: Is it possible to install an application to a TrueCrypt volume and run it from there?
A: Yes.
We actually have been deploying only super-servers, on beefy boxes with 2x dual core with 2x HT each (8x processing unit in total), because of our lack of experience in classic servers. Well, those server boxes do run other applications so you don’t get CPUs sitting there doing nothing, but I still wonder which one will be more suitable — one single super-server with shared page cache pool that can only utilise one CPU core, or multiple classic server instances that have their own page cache. However we do have up to 160 concurrent connections to the database on some of our boxes. Not sure how Win2k3 will perform with this kind of process count. Damn! Wish we can deploy them onto Linux boxes.

Anyone wants to bet which project: Firefox or Firebird will be first for release version 2.0?
Time to digg an Firebird vs Firefox story
At last in Brazil, the relationship between Borland and Firebird community is getting better. For the second year, Borland is sponsoring the Firebird Developers Day conference. You can check the nice promotion banner they included in their June newsletter clicking here.
I hope things will get even better when “DevCo” starts running.
