“Official” CodeGear/Borland dbExpress driver for Firebird

One comment

Translated from Erick Sasse blog:

This week I was in BorCon-BR and watched the Steve Shaugnessy’s talk , one of the person responsible for the database area in Delphi. He told that there will be a Borland/CodeGear’s “official” dbExpress driver for Firebird. The customers demand has now proven to justify the investment in the development of the driver. He didn’t give any details, and don’t know if the driver will be developed entirely by CodeGear or by someone from Firebird community with their help, but made it clear that it will be done. Finally, not?

Firebird – future versions

Leave a comment

New Roadmap is under discussion in the Admin group, but based on what Dmitry Yemanov said in the Hamburg conference, next version of FB 2.1 shall be a Release Candidate, and if nothing wrong is found, the other one will be the final release (hopefully out still in this year).

For those dreaming with FB 3.0, probably there will be an intermediate release (2.5?) released before it.

Mon 22 Oct 2007 10:10:00 GMT Firebird Conference Mad Auction Stefan Heymann
The Mad Auction at this year’s Firebird Conference in Hamburg raised more than 3,750 Euros to augment the coffers for Firebird development. Thanks to those who dug deeply into their pockets and paid ridiculously inflated prices for their small treasures! Thanks also to the two companies that donated a total of 400 Euros in cash and didn’t take home any prizes.
