Linux/s390x support for Firebird 2.1.2

Dan Horák wrote on firebird devel list:
I am a Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developer and we are now
porting whole Fedora package collection to the s390x (IBM System z a.k.a
mainframe) architecture. The official sources for Firebird (in version
2.1.2) didn’t support this architecture, so I have prepared a patch that
adds this support. Please let me know what else should I do to get the
support accepted into the official source tree.

the patch was uploaded to
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2559

Usage of BOOLEAN and GUID types in Firebird and Interbase now available with IBProvider

 
GUID type is currently not supported by any Firebird and Interbase server, but it is frequently used by different clients (for example, in ADO Entity Framework).

Boolean type is supported by Interbase starting from 7th version and is not supported by Firebird server. IBProvider can work with this type, but it lacks support from other servers.

New release of IBProvider 3.0.0.7446 supports Guid and Boolean types at driver level, and now you can freely use these types in your applications irrespective of Interbase and Firebird server versions.

Absolutely fresh article of how to with types via IBProvider:
