Let there be Fire – morfik site revamped , WebOS AppsBuilder released

Leave a comment

Today I was glad to see the new website of Morfik Technology was unveiled. Along with a totally redesigned web site, comes the public release of a test version of the their WebOS AppsBuilder tool. These transformations probably reflect a move by Morfik, to bring the development of the WebOS AppsBuilder into the light, after being kept in the shadows for quite some time.

Ed:if you don’t know what is the link between firebird and morfik here is an e-mail interview with the Morfik team

SQL Point/Blog of the Week

Leave a comment

For those of you data hounds out there that use open source databases.

May I suggest the excellent Firebird, coupled with IBexpert, as opposed to mySQL.

I have found it a heck of a lot easier to design and implement stored procedures. It is open source and rock solid.
That is J. J. Walter’s opinion about firebird , expressed in his blog.

Intraweb Studio uses Firebird

Leave a comment

“IntraWeb Studio is a professional Content Management System (CMS). It enables you to edit and manage your website in a very efficient and cost effective way.
All of your files and documents for a web site are kept in a repository. The repository may be located on your development machine or on an external repository server (IWS Pro and up). The repository is implemented in an SQL based DBMS. Currently IWS supports FireBird, IWS Personal and Desktop edition use an embedded version of FireBird – no special setup is required.”

Master Maths migrated to Lazarus/Firebird

Leave a comment

I contract at Master Maths in South Africa. Master Maths entrusted Lazarus with its 3rd incarnation of its flagship product. After a few weeks of testing and prototyping different languages and development environments, we opted for Free Pascal and Lazarus. We are rewriting the flagship product using Lazarus with the Firebird DB as backend (via the FBLib components) driven by the tiOPF2 framework. The new version of the product will run under Linux and Window.

Backup your del.icio.us bookmarks in Firebird

One comment

“I’m a fan of del.icio.us because it allows me to seamlessly access my bookmars from whichever computer I am currently logged in to. A comment in a posting on this blog some time ago, brought my attention to Scuttle, an Open Source version of del.icio.us written in PHP. Scuttle is currently available in version 0.6.0. The underlying database into which scuttle stores users and bookmarks, can be any of MySQL, Oracle, Postgres, SqLite, DB2, Firebird, and a couple others”

EMC Corporation, the world leader in information management and storage, today announced that Brunel GmbH has centralized and automated the recovery management of its core sales database across 30 branch offices. By deploying EMC’s information protection and recovery management software, the Germany-based IT and engineering firm has dramatically faster backup and recovery processes, better information availability and achieved significant cost savings.

As one component of its information lifecycle management (ILM) strategy, Brunel now uses EMC AutoStart(TM) to provide continuous data availability for a two-node cluster of Windows servers. Citrix file services, such as printing and profiles, reside on one node and Brunel’s Firebird sales database runs on the other.
