Release of ADO.NET Provider for OLE DB – v1.11

Hello everyone!

We released a new update of our ADO.NET provider for OLE DB, which allows the work with Firebird and InterBase from .NET application through IBProvider.

https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/news/n_190304.html

Description of change

When connecting to the Firebird, InterBase and Yaffil databases, the «ISC:DatabaseDialect» and «ISC:ConnectionDialect» columns are available in the «DataSourceInformation» metadata schema.

This information is taken from the information properties of IBProvider: «IB Database Dialect» and «IB Connection Dialect», respectively.

The full list of columns in the DataSourceInformation schema is defined in the static class OleDbMetaDataCollectionColumnNames.DataSourceInformation.

You may get our ADO.NET provider from IBProvider site and from NUGET site.

Regards, IBProvider Team.

Release of IBProvider v5

We are proud to introduce the fifth version of our basic product for working with Firebird and InterBase.

IBProvider v5 inherits all the best from IBProvider v3 and dramatically improves the quality of implementation of the OLE DB components.

For the last few years, the main development line of IBProvider was fixing problems that prevented its stable operation. First of all, we had to fix problems not related to the provider itself — we rewrote the client for Firebird and the standard pool of OLE DB connections. It took a lot of time and resourses, but it was worth it.

Now the time has come to get to IBProvider itself.

Instead of local fixes, within the support of the third version we redesigned the inner infrastructure of the OLE DB components of IBProvider taking into account the entire experience gained over the last years. In part, the ideas were taken from our ADO.NET provider.

The main qualities of IBProvider v5 are reliability and fail safety…

Release of IBProvider v3.53

Hello everyone.

We have released an update of IBProvider, which has the solution for error with code 8152 of MS SQL Linked Server.

https://www.ibprovider.com/eng/news/n_180927__fix_for_mssql_error_with_code_8152.html

Short annotation of this problem – MS SQL has the problem with processing of object descriptions in metadata schemas.

New provider allows you do not publish object descriptions in schemas.

You may turn off publication of object descriptions to speed up the process of loading metadata schemas as a whole.
