Loading...New implementation for wire protocol in Jaybird and all drivers need a faster wire protocol
Mark Rotteveel wrote on twitter about the Jaybird improvement:
Writing a new implementation of the wire protocol in Jaybird. I fear it is going to cascade into a total rewrite of the driver
Jiri chatted later:
IMO the whole “communication layer” needs redesign. It’s (way) too legacy.
And later on the twitter channel Brent Rowland wrote:
Contemplating creating a new wire protocol. Stop me now…
I have a replication system for Firebird I need to extend across a WAN. Firebird has no built-in replication and the protocol is chatty.
Editor:All these conversations are around Firebird 2.5.x protocol , there is work conducted by Dmitry Yemanov on improving the Firebird 3.x protocol

Here is the tweet with announcement:
Just added Viacheslav Naydenov to SOCI team as new maintainer of FirebirdSQL backend to be (re)released with SOCI 3.2.0 and 4.0.0
Originally, SOCI was developed by Maciej Sobczak at CERN as abstraction layer for Oracle, a Simple Oracle Call Interface. Later, several database backends have been developed for SOCI, thus the long name has lost its practicality. Currently, if you like, SOCI may stand for Simple Open (Database) Call Interface or something similar.
GitHub hosts SOCI source code repository, issues tracker and wiki: https://github.com/SOCI
