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

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

My First Firebird and Python application

Ido Kanner (ik_5) wrote on his blog about his First Firebird and Python application :

It’s that time of the year again – I’m required to learn new technology due to a project requirement.
The requirement is to write something using django, but I do not know django or Python.

So I’ve started my first project using the Python language, just to have a feel for it.
