Blog post by Paul Beach.For a little while now Alex and I have been battling a problem on Solaris 10 64bit AMD. We have been trying to port Firebird 2.0x to 64bit Solaris. However after fixing a few issues, e.g. defining the platform etc, we found that isql_static would core dump on trying to create a database. This is where the fun begins.
A review for an old article
when you upgrade in debian from firebird 1.5.x to 2.0.x beware of some UDF issues
We have similar databases running on MySql, Postgresql and Firebird. One of the reasons for moving away from MySql was that the UTF8 support didn’t work properly.

The question is, is there a MySQL/PostgreSQL equivalent of LIMIT clause in Firebird?
you can see the final vote results , this year there was some good pr campaign from postgres 🙂 and we didn’t voted so much like in previous years
but we took an honorable 3rd place
It’s weird that sqlite is not on the first row it’s used in firefox/google gears … and disabled in php.ini by default

This error has been really annoying me tonight!
I have an app that uses Embedded Firebird for its DB so that I don’t need to
install a DB server. On Vista my app throws an exception “Error trying to
write to file (the correct path here)”.
Now we have 64bit builds of Firebird 2.1 for MacOSX 10.5, we have issues trying to test them properly using the Firebird QMTest QA suite. This QA suite relies on Python and kinterbasdb. Currently Philippe Makowski has been able to run the tests from a 64bit Linux client. But is unable to run the tests locally. Well currently the python framework that comes with MacOSX 10.5 is only 32bit and this forces a 32bit build of kinterbasdb, since the build environment of kinterbasdb uses distutils to use the same compile switches as python. So I thought I would have a look at the issue and see if I could build a 64bit version of kinterbasdb for MacOSX 10.5.
This is how I did it…
