Little helper library for writing #UDFs for Firebird in #Lua

September 27, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

Helper C library for writing UDFs for Firebird in Lua (as well as a small collection of useful UDFs). The Firebird UDF interface would hopefully be obsoleted in Firebird v3.0 and replaced with the new External Engine API. Until then, I hope you find this little library helpful. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

For tips on how to write UDFs for Firebird yourself, read UdfWritingTips.

PS: If writing UDFs in Lua seems overkill, checkout the other UDF library written in freepascal.

Hi,

I found this bench : http://tokutek.com/products/iibench/

(http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdcallag/mysql-patch/mytools/annotate/head%3A/bench/ibench/iibench.py)

and aibench.py:
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~mdcallag/mysql-patch/mytools/annotate/head%3A/bench/ibench/aibench.py

I made a Firebird version of both. You can download them here : http://www.firebirdsql.org/download/rabbits/pmakowski/

If you find them useful, I will put them in the svn QA repository

Is it possible to write a similar Firebird database driver?

September 1, 2010 Andrew Merkulov Leave a comment

Today we are (IBProvider team) overwhelmingly happy because we have finally released the final build of the 3rd version of IBProvider.

Is it possible to write a similar database driver?

Of course, you can write it! All you need is a strong desire and 7 years of free time. Exactly the same time it took us to write the third version of IBProvider.

Please read about development results here and download new Firebird driver here:
