Do you want to enable execution of SQL scripts in your programs and spend less time for exhausting coding?
Do you want to create a table, a generator and a trigger, to add data to the table, to make data selection and then to delete all this in one command? For example:
set autoddl on;
set transaction;
create generator GEN_ID_TEST_TABLE;
create table TEST_TABLE (ID INTEGER NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,TEXT BLOB SUB_TYPE TEXT);
create trigger BI_TEST_TABLE for TEST_TABLE
before insert
as
begin
if(NEW.ID IS NULL) then NEW.ID=GEN_ID(GEN_ID_TEST_TABLE,1);
end;
insert into TEST_TABLE (text) values('record 1');
insert into TEST_TABLE (text) values('record 2');
set term !!;
select * from TEST_TABLE!!
set terminator ;!!
TEST_TABLE;
set autoddl off;
drop table TEST_TABLE;
drop generator GEN_ID_TEST_TABLE;
commit;Now it is possible with new IBProvider! IBProvider v.3.3.0.11117 allows to run a command with several SQL queries (SQL scripts).

From Marco Cantu’s blog:
Now, this could be a very good opportunity for all of the other open source database servers (and also some of paid ones!), particularly the most popular ones like Firebird and PostgreSQL. I’m particularly fond of Firebird (the InterBase offspring) and use it in many projects and did a lot of consulting to Delphi developers using it. Can this be the rise of Firebird? MySQL with its huge popularity has certainly obscured it, so it could be a good time to act.

Morfik is used to easily develop rich Internet applications that can be run also in devices, like the iPhone. They just released the version 3 of the product, with some interesting news:
NO MORE PAY TO PLAY
With this release, we have changed the game, significantly. Now you don’t have to pay to play the game! That’s right, Morfik 3 AppsBuilder is no longer licensed. It is accessible to everyone – at no cost.
There is no catch. We are serious about enabling developers to take full advantage of the power of the Web. This is about making it as easy as possible for all to discover, use and be successful with Morfik. We want to build the community of active users, which will ultimately help you get the most out of your Morfik development environment.
I remember Morfik having a “free” version in the past, and after some time, they changed their minds and started to offer only paid/licensed versions. I hope this time they are serious about the “there is no catch” thing.
Morfik uses Firebird as its default database.
