#Python bug: float compared to decimal is silently incorrect
Python Bug that can trigger some errors when upgrading from kinterbasdb 3.2 to kinterbasdb 3.3
if python/kinterbasdb users upgrade kinterbasdb they must be aware of this python bug, because all existing code must be inspected for “(retrieved Decimal value) compare (float)” statements, which before upgrade were Ok (retrieved float value) compare (float)) statements
Firebird Tracker is Restored
Firebird’s Jira Tracker is now restored on the new VM, with data up to 5 December 2009. However, we have lost attachments from the last two years. Missing ticket headers from after Dec 5 will need to be reconstructed from notification messages.
Firebird support for Identity Columns in 3.0
An identity column is a column associated with an internal sequence generator and has it value automatically set when omitted in an INSERT statement.
Example:
create table objects (
id integer generated by default as identity primary key,
name varchar(15)
);insert into objects (name) values (‘Table’);
insert into objects (name) values (‘Book’);
insert into objects (id, name) values (10, ‘Computer’);select * from objects;
ID NAME
