Firebird django backend call for testing help and progress

One comment

The call for an extra hand for testing people who are python/django experts the code is already in svn :

I’m Maximiliano Robaina (maxirobaina) and I’m working on the django-firebird backend implementation. The original google project, started by Ivan Illarionov, was deprecated because he hasn’t any time to port it to django 1.x
The django db backend has many changes, therefore, the Ivan version don’t work any more.
For this, I upload my django-firebird version which is compatible with django 1.1 beta-1., Firebird 1.5 and Firebird 2.x
The next step (for me) is to replace the svn version with my code and reorganize the repository (I will need some help for it)

Are you interested in continuing to participate on this?

If the answer is yes, plase contact to me to coordinate.

Regards.

In an related blog to new django backend release from the nagami blog :
Once, I wrote Django firebird backend http://nakagami.blog.so-net.ne.jp/2009-03-12-2
But it is not good work on Django subversion trunk today. (Target is moving !)
So I catch it up. ( Thanks Maxi )http://www005.upp.so-net.ne.jp/nakagami/Download/django-firebird_20090606.zip
I hope it works on Django 1.1 release.

He covered the status of the company (the new owner of Delphi, since the event last year) and its the commercial offering, but delved also in the Delphi Roadmap announced recently (at the San Jose conference, as covered by this blog), demononstrated gesture support in a Delphi Weaver application and also the new Firebird native dbExpress driver. This is the first time this was shown in public, as far as I know.

Embarcadero Tools and FB

Leave a comment

I’m at Delphi Day 2009 , naturally in Italy. This morning I follow an introduction session held by David Intersimone. And after some slide finally he asnwer me a last year question: “when you will support firebird?”

I saw some slide from Rapid SQL and other Embarcadero tools where there is a new item:

FIREBIRD

He showed us how connect to a fdb, insert, list, delete data with a simple grid+dbnavigator in delphi….

I suppose this is a good news!… or not?…
