Timeout records – Feature request

For several years now, I’m yearning for a feature that I think that all SQL based databases that I know are missing, and throw it back to the program side.

The feature I wish to have is a way to set a specific record to be valid for only a known period of time, and when the time is up, I’ll be able to do something.

In this post I’ll try to create some sort of general specification for such feature, and I hope that there will be many comments on this that will benefit everyone, and I hopeful, that they will make the idea better.

Firebird: choosing an owner for database deployment

Like most users when I started using Firebird I connected using the SYSDBA username. That is the default username for server administration: every server has it.

It looked like a good idea because I did not have to care with users management, but I have now realized that using SYSDBA for database development can cause problems when the database is deployed to the customer’s computer.

New IBExpert Version 2012.02.21 available

News from ibexpert page
New Data import, Extract metadata and Search metadata features, new IBEBlock functions, and more

New features include:

  1. Data import: now you can convert Boolean values to smallint values when importing data into a new table. You can also now automatically generate simple column names for the target table.
  2. To-Do list: now you can duplicate To-Do items.
  3. Extract metadata: New Always include COLLATE option.
  4. Search metadata: New Do not search in comments option.
  5. New IBEBlock functions and features.
  6. Many small bug fixes and minor improvements.

Since version 2011.12.01 IBExpert now uses the Firebird database and Firebird Embedded 2.5 to store all IBExpert data (registered databases, query histories etc.) by default. In previous versions by default IBExpert stored this data in the IBExpert.stg file and the user was able to change this manually in Options / Environment Options / User Database. Working with IBExpert.stg is still possible (for example, if you disable the User Database manually), but you will get a warning every time you start IBExpert, and we will not support this method in the future.

  • The Customer version (setup_customer.exe) can be downloaded here (for customers with valid license keys). You can also download the customer version in theIBExpert KG Download Center. If you can not see it there, you might have used a different e-mail in the customer registration process or your account has already expired.
  • The Trial version (setup_trial.exe) can be downloaded here (45 day test version) or from the IBExpert KG Download Center.
  • The free Personal version (setup_personal.exe) can be downloaded here (version with limited features free of charge).

We are currently preparing to release Firebird 2.0.7

From Paul Beach’s Blog:
We are currently preparing to release Firebird 2.0.7, since I take responsinility for the Mac builds, I did a 2.0.7 build on MacOSX 10.7 using the development tools installed by XCode 4.1 (gcc 4.2.1 etc). I set up the relevant environment variables for this older 32bit only build CFLAGS, CXXFLAGS, LD_FLAGS and also set the MACOSX_DEPLOYMENT_TARGET=10.4. The builds completed without any problems, some simple tests on MacOSX 10.7 showed no problems.

Now – Imagine my surprise when Philippe told me that when he tried to QA the builds on MacOSX 10.5 we got this error on SuperServer startup.
