Using Jaybird with Firebird 3.0 alpha 1

Leave a comment

Mark Rotteveel wrote on Firebird Java list :

I have started a page on the Jaybird wiki on using Jaybird with Firebird

3.0 alpha 1:

http://jaybirdwiki.firebirdsql.org/jaybird/doku.php?id=tip:firebird30a1

It lists know problems, compatibility issues and workarounds between
Jaybird 2.2.x and earlier and Firebird 3 (alpha 1).

It is a work in progress, but I hope to have all the basics listed by
Sunday. If you miss something, or something doesn’t work for you with
Firebird 3, let me know.

Firebird, Angularjs, Node and Socket.IO – Part 1

John Tomaselli wrote on his blog about his main stack:

I’m going to post my latest project I’m working on and will go back to publish some older works that might be of interest to the community. About a year ago I attended an AngularJS meetup at Google’s NY office and since then have completely changed my development stack. Angular is an awesome approach to developing client side web applications and has truly changed my development life. Of course I needed a back end that supported Firebird. This is where Nodejs comes in and helps explain the gap between posts as it’s taken some time to become proficient with all these new developments. There is a lot to learn and fortunately for those just jumping in, the resources since I began are maturing at a rapid rate (see pluralsight training, eggheadio, books etc) .
The Main Stack:

  • Angularjs.org
  • Firebirdsql.org
  • Nodejs.org
  • socketio
  • express

Protocol optimization (status update)

Leave a comment

I got the following status update from Dmitry Yemanov, regarding the Firebird’s protocol enhancement task that is being sponsored by FDD:

I’m working on it from time to time. One of the TODO items is completed,
one more improvement came to mind and now it’s being tested. So it’s
surely will be available in FB3, at some point after Alpha 1 but before
Beta 1.

I think this is good news!

Windows Azure Web Sites and Firebird

Jiří Činčura wrote about his experience with Firebird Embedded and Azure Websites

To sum up. Firebird Embedded works well in Windows Azure Websites. If you need fully featured SQL database for zero extra-money with option to go hassle-free to full server if the need comes, it’s a way to go.
