Extracting glibc info in #Linux to see if is greater or equal with 2.7

February 22, 2011 mariuz Leave a comment

Related to previous announcement:If you are on ubuntu and your ubuntu release is greater than Hardy (8.04) you are safe , on other distributions you can determine this way the glibc version
You must run the /lib/libc.so.6 and it will return the glibc version
in the first row.
In ubuntu or any debian based distro

/lib/libc.so.6 | head -n 1
GNU C Library (Ubuntu EGLIBC 2.13-0ubuntu1) stable release version
2.13, by Roland McGrath et al.

in this case glibc is 2.13
and is builded from eglibc sources
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/eglibc

another option is dpkg interrogation

dpkg -l libc6

on rpm based distros

rpm -q glibc

ps: other alternative ways

From Oracle to FireBird – a comparison of functions

January 20, 2011 ctheuring 3 comments

We have made an comparison of functions between Oracle and FireBird to avoid the nice (but incomplete) UDF-library UDF4Ora. Most of the Oracle functions are similar to FireBird- or FreeAdhocUDF-functions. Here you find a complete liste of comparison.

If you are interested in one (or more) not presented functions send an eMail to help@freeadhocudf.org.

Complete Language Reference hopefully completed by the end of winter

December 13, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

Dimitry Yemanov wrote about the complete Firebird 2.5 reference and how will be structured

I’m starting working on the contents for the complete Firebird 2.5
Language Reference with a hope to have it completed this winter. All the
appropriate questions and issues will be posted here in order to keep
everybody in sync. The first thing to discuss would be the document
structure.

Here is what I have in mind:

http://www.firebirdsql.org/download/rabbits/dimitr/LangRef.html

It’s just a draft and any feedback is welcome.

The major difference from what we have now is that the syntax diagrams
(along with the detailed description of the every clause) is moved to
the appendix A.

The major chapters contain the introduction to the appropriate
statements and the information on how to apply them to the common usage
patters instead.
