Loading...Little helper library for writing #UDFs for Firebird in #Lua
Helper C library for writing UDFs for Firebird in Lua (as well as a small collection of useful UDFs). The Firebird UDF interface would hopefully be obsoleted in Firebird v3.0 and replaced with the new External Engine API. Until then, I hope you find this little library helpful. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.
http://code.google.com/p/firebird-lua-udfs/
For tips on how to write UDFs for Firebird yourself, read UdfWritingTips.
PS: If writing UDFs in Lua seems overkill, checkout the other UDF library written in freepascal.

Firebird history and Mageia story are related to each other , here are the Philippe’s kind words
A new GNU Linux distribution is born : Mageia, a Mandriva Linux fork.
So why speak about this here ?
First, Firebird packages need a maintainer and as I am the one in Mandriva, I will do the same in Mageia
Second, this story remind me a little the Firebird story
Third I’m enthusiast to contribute (may be more than only Firebird related packages) to a such challenging adventure, and in this one, there are people that I really trust.
Long live Mageia : http://www.mageia.org/

I have uploaded packages of Firebird from the R2_5_0
tag in SVN to Debian/experimental. No guarantees these will match the official release, but may be worth a try for those who want to live on the edge.
Short guide of installing packages from the experimental branch is available here.

матрациThose who are new to the Classic version of Firebird on Linux may find interesting that, while running gbak to backup a database, accessing the DB file locally (not by tcp/ip, etc), you will not find a fb_inet_server proccess serving the gbak connection. This is because, in this specific situation, gbak works in embedded mode. Alex Peshkov says this provides the best performance results.
