I wrote my last post about enabling booleans in Firebird after several hours of poking around in database code trying to get my query to execute without errors. Once it worked, everything seemed great. But I missed an important step: I hadn’t tried to write anything back to the database yet.

Few months ago I was playing with different VPS providers and I was also considering deploying the application to some “small instance” cloud. I came to Micro Instance of Amazon EC2. Part of the solution I was doing research for is Firebird database and because the pricing looks good, I tried to install Firebird (2.5 SuperClassic) on this instance.

And here is the blog post and the message With several advantages listed
I’ve added a bunch of new Event Builder editors, plus music-playing capabilities, but probably the biggest change is to the project database. I’m changing the storage mechanism from the old, built-in file format to a Firebird database.

To convert a database from MS SQL to Firebird, we need test the abstraction layer. About to start writing tests for 237 different queries…

ChangeLog:
-New upstream SVN snapshot : revision 2105
-If main window close event can be vetoed then loop through all other BaseFrame instances and check whether they veto the closing (check for open transactions, unsaved changes to files, active background work and so on). Replaces the previous confirmation dialog that was always shown.
-Store last selected authentication mode for database creation as selection index of the choice control instead of string selection because the entries are translatable strings
-Correct value of ExecuteSqlFrame status bar pane with database connection info restored
-LogTextControl modified to be read-only, custom context menu implemented for selecting, copying and clearing the content
-Regression fixed: parameter data type weren’t shown in procedure property pages any more

Hajime Nakagami commented on firebird-python:
The most important reason to supoort Python2.5 is “Jython”.
Now 0.4.1 work on CPython 2.5+(include 3.x), IronPython and Jython.I have never test on PyPy

Vlad Khorsun had been busy working on this, and judging by recent commits to SoundForge, the task is almost finished. Part of the code came from Vulcan. He hopes that people will help doing lots of tests when the first alpha release appears.
Note: Up to now, Shared Cache was only available in the SuperServer model, but SS is not optimized for SMP.
