SQL Relay version 0.59 is now available
Firebird Related Changes:

• added global temp table tracking for firebird
• added droptemptables parameter for firebird
• added globaltemptables parameter for oracle and firebird
• fixed blob-input binds on firebird

Firebird recently added support for global temporary tables. Their implementation is very similar to Oracle’s. SQL Relay now manages global temporary tables identically for Oracle and Firebird. There is even a droptemptables parameter in the Firebird connection configuration, analogous to the same parameter for Oracle.

In fact, support for global temporary tables has been generally improved. In the past, tables created during the current SQL Relay session were tracked and truncated at the end of the session, but global temporary tables created during previous runs of SQL Relay or outside of SQL Relay altogether were ignored, leading to those global temporary tables not being truncated at the end of the session. The Oracle and Firebird connections now support a globaltemptables parameter that can be set to a list of tables that should be truncated at the end of each session, or to “%”, which causes SQL Relay to query the database for the list of global temp tables to truncate.
