New maintainer for the SOCI Firebird SQL project (The C++ Database Access Library)

Leave a comment

Here is the tweet with announcement:
Just added Viacheslav Naydenov to SOCI team as new maintainer of FirebirdSQL backend  to be (re)released with SOCI 3.2.0 and 4.0.0

Originally, SOCI was developed by Maciej Sobczak at CERN as abstraction layer for Oracle, a Simple Oracle Call Interface. Later, several database backends have been developed for SOCI, thus the long name has lost its practicality. Currently, if you like, SOCI may stand for Simple Open (Database) Call Interface or something similar.

This is a test run, and the look and feel will be changed in the feature.
If you have a blog or can provide RSS for FPC/Lazarus news please send me a message with the feed details and I’ll add you.

SplendidCRM on FirebirdSQL demo page and Database structure

Leave a comment

SplendidCRM (version C# of SugarCRM) is ported from MSSQL over to
FirebirdSQL 2.5.2

It is in a “testable” debug version on this url http://zeos.tetrasys.eu

This changes from the usual will/will 🙂

It is the “community” version and I would like to have your feedback on their added value in a CRM, before carrying over the enterprise modules.

Two precision/information points:
1) One is on a small DSL in Finland, so your GSM has more disponibility and bandwidth
2) the data structure is available for viewing here http://blog.tetrasys.eu/zeos-firebirdsql-structure.aspx

Your comments are welcome 🙂

I will add one more comment from the Firebird porter :

Thanks to Firebird, the memory and processing space has been reduced with two thirds when migrated from MSSQL to FirebirdSQL.
Why don’t everybody switch over to Firebird? 🙂

 

ZeosLib 7.0.3 stable for Delphi/Lazarus is released

Leave a comment

Stable version of zeoslib 7 is released.

The most important improvement you’ll find in this version is support for the compilers Delphi2009 and newer, with their unicode strings.

Other changes in this release are
– Some new components for grouping connections (alpha status)
– Postgres event alerter component comparable with the existing Interbase/Firebird event alerter (alpha status)
– Pooled connections (alpha status)
– Real prepared statement support (always for firebird, on demand for mysql and postgres), allowing to prepare queries once and execute them multipe times with different input variables.
– New FreeTDS driver for connections to Mssql and Sybase that can replace the old dblib protocol.
– TZStoredproc got a full makeover. Now Stored procedures should work for postgres, firebird, mysql, mssql and oracle (alpha status)
– A load of bugs have been fixed.

Downloads of the new beta release can be found on sourceforge or our mirror download directory http://zeosdownloads.firmos.at/downloads/

New IBExpertBenchmark tool: Compare your db server performance on different hardware, OS’s and Firebird server version

Leave a comment

Have you ever tried to compare the database speed of your Firebird server with new server hardware? Is a XEON Machine better than an Opteron? What improvements can you expect from fast SAS hard disks, RAID controllers or Enterprise SSDs? Is SuperClassic really better than Superserver?
We’ve created a new tool which offers a reproducible speed index for your computer working as a Firebird Server: IBExpertBenchmark
