Kevora IDE for Firebird
New QT based IDE for Firebird Kevora
Recently, Kevora also supports Firebird or Interbase access. Despite this database does not have schemas, Kevora will place all objects below a “virtual” rdb$relations schema.
The tools we use to produce Kevora are:
- * Qt Creator or QDevelop.
* Qt Designer.
* Qt Linguist.
* GCC compiler and g++ (on Linux).
* MinGW (on Windows).
* InstallJammer or BitRock InstallBuilder for Qt.
FreeAdhocUDF with new website and forum
Today we moved FreeAdhocUDF to our new domain URL http://FreeAdhocUDF.org
For better support there is now a forum – direct URL http://FreeAdhocUDF.org/portal
There is also a new eMail help@freeadhocudf.org
The old URL and the old eMail adresses are still working in addition.

16 versions of Firebird and Interbase are now available for recording on 64-bit platforms via MS SQL Linked Server
Firebird and Interbase users implementing IBProvider drivers in their work last year were the first to take advantage of 64-bit applications. We have produced two more drivers in addition to 64-bit IBProvider v3: IBProvider v2 and IBProvider v1.
Firebird, Interbase and 64-bit MS SQL Linked Server
Due to 64-bit IBProvider v2 driver, 16 versions of Firebird and Interbase are now available for recording on 64-bit Windows OS via MS SQL Linked Server.
64-bit updatable rowsets in ADO
In addition to MS SQL Linked Server, there are many libraries and utilities that support updatable rowsets technology implemented only in IBProvider v2. One of such libraries is ADO library.
64-bit support in ADO and WHS allows to develop 64-bit automation scripts in VBScript language. For example:
- Firebird/Interbase database automated administration scripts;
- scripts for building reports, eporting to Office, XML, sending reports via email;
- database backup, recovery, and replication scripts;
- customizable business logic scripts in 64-bit applications;
- etc.
With IBProvider drivers, writing of applications for Firebird and Interbase will become an easy and fascinating task.
We have made provision for the most difficult and will gladly share our technologies with you.

IBO Status update from Jason
Posted in the IBO Support list:
I am glad to report I am now able to make IBO development my full time effort so the progress with IBO should start moving at a very accellerated pace. I’ve been through a total living hell for the past year but I am absolutely determined to get things back in order and its looking like I am finally there. I will very soon have a BETA version of D2009 to test. The changes made are very wide sweeping. This has been a tremendous amount of work and it is going to take a while yet before it is finished. Almost every aspect of IBO has been hit by these changes. But, it will be good to finally make this transition into Unicode. I’m not complaining.
Thanks for everyone’s patience thus far.
