libgda/libgnomedb version 3.0RC 1 have been released.

Leave a comment

After a lot of bug fixes and cleanups, I’m pleased to announce that Libgda and Libgnomedb have reached a point where the API and ABI are frozen for the upcoming 3.0 release. This new upcoming version is a complete overhaul compared to the previous 1.2.x versions (the jump to 3.0 is due to a shared libraries versionning). The sources can be downloaded from GNOME servers.

SQLAlchemy 0.3.6 released

Leave a comment

SQLAlchemy 0.3.6 released. SQLAlchemy is the Python SQL toolkit and Object Relational Mapper that gives application developers the full power and flexibility of SQL.

This is the first post-Pycon release and includes the new Query object which merges in all of the functionality of SelectResults.

More docs have been added, including some description of the new Query methods. The “generated documentation” has been broken upinto separate pages per module, with navigation added for module-level functions. Docstrings are also much more PEP compliant and are formatted using docutils.

Full changelog can be viewed at: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/CHANGES

Firebird Maestro 7.3 released. Now with graphical database designer!

Leave a comment
Firebird Maestro SQL Maestro Group is happy to announce the release of Firebird Maestro 7.3, a powerful Windows GUI solution for Firebird administration and database development.

The main feature of the new version is the Graphical Database Designer – a case tool for managing your database in a few mouse clicks. This piece of our software is intended for creation of physical Entity Relationship Diagrams that represent objects in your Firebird databases. Each diagram displays the tables of your database and the relationships between them.

  • Handy tools of Designer allow you to create new and edit existing tables and references;
  • The reverse engineering feature will help you to understand the schema structure and make its modification in an easy and clear way;
  • Now you can quickly and easily print your database structure with a lot of options including header and footer, paper size and orientation, etc;
  • A rich set of options and settings give you a way to see your database in your own look and feel style.

A diagram of your database can help you define operational aspects of your application logic that you might otherwise overlook. Also, a well-defined data diagram that accurately represents your tasks can be helpful in orienting employees to goals and operations.

iBATIS.NET DataMapper 1.6.1 and DataAccess 1.9.1 Released

Leave a comment

The iBATIS.NET team announced March1, 2007 that the BETA releaseof DataAccess V1.9.1 and DataMapper V1.6.1 [beta status] are now available.

This release includes bug fixes and enhancements.

The iBATIS Data Mapper framework makes it easier to use a database with Java and .NET applications. iBATIS couples objects with stored procedures or SQL statements using a XML descriptor. Simplicity is the biggest advantage of the iBATIS DataMapper over object relational mapping tools.

To use the iBATIS Data Mapper, you rely on your own objects, XML, and SQL. There islittle to learn that you don’t already know. With the iBATIS Data Mapper, you have the full power of both SQL and stored procedures at your fingertips.

And, of course, iBATIS supports Firebird.

SQLObject 0.8.1 and 0.7.4 released

SQLObject is an object-relational mapper for python. Your database tables are described as classes, and rows are instances of those classes. SQLObject is meant to be easy to use and quick to get started with.

SQLObject supports a number of backends: MySQL, PostgreSQL, SQLite, and Firebird. It also has newly added support for Sybase, MSSQL and MaxDB (also known as SAPDB).
