Are your data access components ready for Firebird 3?

June 7, 2011 Andrew Merkulov Leave a comment

We are continuing to actively add new functionality of Firebird 3 DBMS to IBProvider.

Let us remind you that already 2 months ago we added support of BOOLEAN data type from Firebird 3. In the new version of IBProvider Professional, we added support of PACKAGE instruction.

Now you can put in order a bulk of database procedures and functions and group them by sense into individual modules (PACKAGE). This arrangement will substantially simplify understanding and maintenance of SQL code.

Ream more about Firebird 3 access improvements.

Status of PHP PDO_Firebird as of May 2011

June 2, 2011 mariuz Leave a comment

Working both with Firebird SQL and PDO (but not yet at the same time) I am interested in the combination of both.
According to the documentation the extension is still in experimental status, but I was still curious about how far it has progressed. I decided to redo the experiments Lorenzo Alberton did in an article in 2006.

I performed these tests on PHP Version 5.3.6 with Firebird 2.5 on a Windows 7 machine.

Which embedded database has maximum SQL compliance, and concurrency support?

May 31, 2011 mariuz Leave a comment

One happy firebird user looking for a cool Sql Embeeded Database and is ditching Microsoft Access too

I did trials with Firebird, and it really does seem very good, zero admin, and SQL compliant. It is fast, and I had no problems in any of the typical queries I could try on it. I am very satisfied with it, and hopefully will use it for the project for which I raised this question.Hopefully Advantage Server too will be good, but could not get time to review it. After reviewing/using Firebird do not feel any need to try anything else.
