Huge test case for Firebird at SOFTOOL’06
Alexey Kovyazin and Dmitry Yemanov were present at Softool 2006, showing a really big test drive for Firebird:
The test used a Russian ERP called Avarda connecting a Firebird 2.0 Classic server. Environment was 30 desktops and 1 power server imitating Avarda working with 100 simulatenous clients accessing a 120Gb Firebird database with 700 million records! Server was a SMP machine (2 CPUs – Dell PowerEdge 2950) and 6GB RAM.
You can see a small video from Softool with Alexey and Dmitry Yemanov here.

Firebird and Alfresco CMS

Hello.
Some time ago I’ve been evaluating Alfresco – an opensource CMS. Its stack is this: MySQL -> Hibernate -> SpringFramework -> tomcat -> Web interface.
Since all other systems in our company use Firebird as a database back-end I’ve decided to move Alfresco to Firebird.
Here are the steps:
SQLObject SQLObject 0.7.1 released
From Oleg Deribas:
There is new 0.7.1 version of SQLObject – Object Relational Manager for
python programming language: sqlobject.orgSQLObject supports firebird: sqlobject.org/SQLObject.html#id6
And there is another popular ORM for python – SQLAlchemy which supports firebird also.
RC5 should be out soon!
In a chat with Dmitry Yemanov, I was told that Firebird 2.0 RC5 should be out until the end of this week, and it has great chances to become FB 2.0 final release.

I will be doing 2 talks about Firebird 2.0 in the 7th Delphi Developers Day, in São Paulo – Brazil, next saturday (30/September). The conference is promoted by DUG-BR and subscriptions can be done online in the DUG site.
