MDB2_Schema is learning new tricks

Igor is doing great work on moving forward the XML based database schema format originally developed by Manuel Lemos as part of Metabase that is used in MDB2_Schema. [ED…skiped some content]The idea behind this schema format is to make it possible to define a single database schema that can be used to create, alter and initialize databases in any number of RDBMS. For example currently MDB2_Schema supports MySQL, PostGreSQL, Oracle, SQLite, MS SQL Server, Interbase/Firebird.

OpenDBX 1.1.2 released – firebird support added

I can proudly announce that this release of the OpenDBX library contains a fully featured and stable backend for firebird/interbase database servers which works well with both, the classic server and the newer firebird threaded server (often called “firebird super server”). Using the firebird/interbase client library correctly is one of the more challenging tasks and therefore great news for the OpenDBX project.

django added firebird support

[ED:django is like RoR implemented in python]
Just attached the firebird backend and a patch file. Firebird has a problem, names can’t bigger than 31 chars for tables, fields, constraints, etc. In auth app needed to change user_premissions to permissions so the many to many table name doens’t get too big… must be a way we can workaround this…
