Firebird DB management tool – continuing the story
After a week of using my homegrown tool for managing Firebird databases, I have realised that it would help a great deal if I could edit live data

A rather big (and long overdue!) update of the Dutch and English nbackup manuals has just been committed (to trunk and B_Release) and published on the website.
Next task: Language Reference!

A new case-study was added to FirebirdSQL site. It is always interesting to ready such articles, and know about other companies experiences with Firebird. This time it is about DRB Systems moving from InterBase 6 to Firebird to solve stability problems. Read more.

Just letting everyone know that we have ported Sakila Sample database to Firebird
Here is the project page

Take a look at the new case study published in the FirebirdSQL site. Interesting that they choosed Firebird over Oracle, and cost was not the only factor. Worth reading!
There are other case studies published in the site. Make sure to read them all, and if you have an interesting case to show, contact the moderator to know how to publish it there.
Philippe Makowski wrote a first todo list for the driver  :
after that, I think that someone could work on sqlalchemy integration
I’ll try to first add the multiple transactions per connection
management in my repo (will create a branche for that)
Volunteers ?
Anything else ?
Please try new release 0.5.0
