I am a Fedora and Red Hat Enterprise Linux developer and we are now
porting whole Fedora package collection to the s390x (IBM System z a.k.a
mainframe) architecture. The official sources for Firebird (in version
2.1.2) didn’t support this architecture, so I have prepared a patch that
adds this support. Please let me know what else should I do to get the
support accepted into the official source tree.
the patch was uploaded to

I’ve been working on an improved plug-in for wireshark (previously known as ethereal) and have produced a “Wire Protocol Specification” as a byproduct.
From my preliminary reading of news groups, etc., several people have asked for this kind of information. It’s not complete, it’s not correct but it’s better than anything else I have been able to find.
It should go in your Documentation and Papers section.
Regards,
Mark Chambers

to investigate the problem now; leaving for France tomorrow
morning. If somebody else wants to have a shot at it, please
do. The CVS sources are up-to-date.

Storing tree structures in a bi-dimensional table has always been problematic. The simplest tree models are usually quite inefficient, while more complex ones aren’t necessarily better. In this talk I briefly go through the most used models (adjacency list, materialized path, nested sets) and introduce some more advanced ones belonging to the nested intervals family
ED: some of the principles can be applied to Firebird with CTE

Note: If you check the Firebird tracker, you will notice that the most voted feature right now is “improvent of the network protocol”. You can vote there too, to raise the priority even more.

As you probably know, a lot of stuff (almost everything) is in system catalog (system tables). The only problem is to figure out what’s the right set of parameters to use. To get all roles with users able to use it, you can use …
