LibreOffice 4.2 released with New Preview Feature : Firebird SQL backend
New feature preview feature in LibreOffice 4.2 : Firebird SQL connector for LibreOffice Base ( contributed by Andrzej Hunt). When creating a new Database, select Firebird Embedded in the drop down menu (you have to first enable the Experimental features in Tools ▸Options ▸ LibreOffice ▸ Advanced).
This allows creation of databases that perform many times faster than the previous built-in HSQLDB 1.8, avoiding the C++-to-Java overhead inherent in using HSQLDB. We plan to phase HSQLDB out over the next few releases, and provide a smooth migration path to Firebird.

Firebird Foreign Data Wrapper for PostgreSQL Release 0.1.6 is out
New version 0.1.6 is released in the unstable area and here is the ChangeLog:
- Push down bitwise operators << and >> (FB 2.1 and later)
- Push down two-argument form of SUBSTRING()

- Push down POSITION() / STRPOS()
- Don’t check for mutable functions – we are explicitly whitelisting functions which can be pushed down (need to double-check if that’s a valid approach)

FBScanner 3.6.1 is released
New version of FBScanner (3.6.1) is released. FBScanner is an unique tool to trace and audit Firebird (1.0 – 2.5) and InterBase (4.0 – XE3) SQL traffic (connections, transactions, queries), it’s very efficient tool for performance optimization and SQL bug tracking.
FBScanner works like a proxy, and enables transparent data capture and analysis:
FBScanner can be used for the following tasks:
- Find queries with bad performance (i.e., slow queries with high prepare and execute times, queries with bad plans)
- Track transactions usage
- Real-time view of connections, users and transactions (connections can be killed)
- Retrospective analysis of SQL traffic
- and more – see presentation here.
FBScanner has 2 licensing options:
- Per server – FBScanner can be used on the single server or computer to track Firebird traffic.
- Unlimited ISV subscription – FBScanner can be installed on any number of computers during the 1 year for use with the specific software application from the single independent software vendor (ISV).
All users of FBScanner 3 already have FBScanner 3.6.1 in IBSurgeon Deploy Center.
