Just letting everyone know that we have ported Sakila Sample database to Firebird
Here is the project page

Philippe Makowski wrote a first todo list for the driver  :
after that, I think that someone could work on sqlalchemy integration
I’ll try to first add the multiple transactions per connection
management in my repo (will create a branche for that)
Volunteers ?
Anything else ?

Now that is a long trip on the memory lane installing firebird v1 on a linux machine
I’ve just got v1 Firebird database running on a 64bit Suse linux machine. I feel EPIC.
I don’t know how hard it can be but you can try it just for fun

иконографияThanks to Damyan and Stefan work we have a perl driver that is free of compilation warnings and that passes all tests when you run it with make test from command line.
Here is the commit log with recent changes.
Great work, is nice to see:
All tests successful. Files=33, Tests=842, 52 wallclock secs ( 0.98 usr 0.15 sys + 9.99 cusr 1.37 csys = 12.49 CPU)
Result: PASS
And here is the proof you need to clone the git repository and run in the shell
ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey make test
DBI driver for Firebird and RDBMS server is located in git now
This was tested on ubuntu ubuntu 11.10 oneiric with firebird 2.5 SuperServer installed from repository
Check if firebird dev headers are installed (this package is both for Super and for Classic)
also check if the perl module DBI is already installed
sudo apt-get install firebird2.5-dev libdbi-perl
git clone git://github.com/mariuz/perl-dbd-firebird.git
cd perl-dbd-firebird/
perl Makefile.PL
sudo make install
you can run the test if you want
ISC_PASSWORD=masterkey make test
