Jaybird 5.0.6 released

Leave a comment

We are happy to announce the release of Jaybird 5.0.6.

The following has been fixed since Jaybird 5.0.5:

  • Fixed: Exceptions during statement execution did not always complete the statement, which could delay transaction commit in auto-commit mode (#806)
  • Fixed: Closing a connection when the database was shutdown, or the connection was otherwise broken, could result in a NullPointerException (#812)
  • Fixed: Error “Column unknown; IND.RDB$CONDITION_SOURCE” when calling DatabaseMetaData.getIndexInfo on Firebird 5.0 with a Firebird 4.0 (ODS 13.0) database (#813)
  • Fixed: Calling ResultSet.wasNull() when on the insert-row throws a SQLException instead of reporting the null-state of the last retrieved column (#816)
  • Fixed: Inserting a row into a result set backed by a server-side scrollable cursor could include the inserted row twice (#819)
  • Improvement: Updated JNA dependency to version 5.15.0 (#823)

Jaybird 5 supports Firebird 2.5 and higher, on Java 8, 11, 17, 21, and 23 (support for Java 11 and higher using the Java 11 version of the driver).

21st Firebird Developers Day – the end

Leave a comment

The 21st Firebird Developers Day concluded today with a special lecture by Dmitry Yemanov on the topic “Understanding the Optimizer Plans.” For the first time, participants heard Dmitry speaking Portuguese :-), thanks to the help of Artificial Intelligence.

This year’s event was held online, allowing more people to participate, especially those who live far from Piracicaba, where the in-person event is usually held. In terms of content, it was one of the best FDDs and featured high-quality live questions at the end of each presentation!

I would like to thank all the speakers (Rodrigo Marchiori, José Francisco Cervi Neto, Carlos Eduardo, Marcelo Daibert, and Dmitry Yemanov), as well as the participants and also the sponsors: IBExpert, uniGUI, Innovio, and Embarcadero, in addition to the supporters Woll2Woll, Steema, and ACBr.

PHP 8.4 Improvements when working with modern Firebird versions

Leave a comment

From firebirdsql.org:

PHP 8.4 beta 5 has been released, marking a significant milestone for PHP developers, particularly those working with Firebird databases. This update brings crucial enhancements to the built-in PDO-Firebird driver. Now supporting modern data types, including DECFLOAT, the driver offers substantial benefits for PHP applications using Firebird 4 and 5.

This improved Firebird support in standard PHP will streamline development of Firebird-based PHP applications, making the process more straightforward and transparent. For an in-depth look at these enhancements, check out the new article “PHP 8.4 Improvements when working with modern Firebird versions“.
