Firebird .Net Provider Improved “weekly” builds

Leave a comment

I’ve improved the http://netprovider.cincura.net/ . It’s now returning
version build from latest SVN sources (so it’s actually snapshot
builds now). Again could be unstable, not a good idea to put it to
production.

PS: It’s reading the build from my internal CI server, that is really
old and really not very powerful. Please try not to push it to the
limit.

2 comments

FBClone v2.1.4 is released .This is a “bugfix release” (field “XxX” not found when used against case sensitive databases.)

FBClone can clone a Firebird database in one shot (instead of backup/restore cycle) and pump data from one database to another with the same structure, it handles metadata / data charset conversion and may be useful to ease database owner change process or to migrate a database between two different firebird versions (eg. 2.1 -> 1.5)
