New version of Interbase/Firebird Development Studio has been released.
SQLLY Development team is happy to announce the availability of the next version of Interbase/Firebird Development Studio. Database Designer was significantly improved – added widely used Data Auditing feature which allows to create special kind of trigger and a table to audit data changes and Grant Manager to setup privileges withing the project. Database Comparer was improved and redesigned – now able to show difference between changed objects, carefully handles all object dependencies and produces update script of much better quality. Improved data type checking now generates more warnings when you attempting, for example, to assign varchar(50) value to char(30).

Using the ActiveRecord-JDBC Adapter
There has been one official release of the ActiveRecord-JDBC adapter, a 0.1 that has basic SQL support for MySQL.[Ed: Firebird support will be added soon , see bellow] …
We are planning a second release of the JDBC adapter very shortly. It should have reasonably solid migrations/DDL support for MySQL, Oracle, and Firebird, as well as some level of support for HSQLDB, Derby, and others. It’s moving along quickly now that it’s been spun off into its own jruby-extras project. You can go there or to the jruby-extras SVN repository to grab the bleeding-edge source from SVN.
