Open-source databases have become quite prominent over the last decade, in large installations as well as small ones. MySQL and PostgreSQL are the best-known open-source databases, but SQLite, Firebird, and CouchDB are also popular in some corners, and offer compelling features of their own.

Delphi 2009 is out

August 25, 2008 Cantu Leave a comment

But still no “official” support for Firebird, as Nick Hodges states in this podcast. BUT, rumors says that there will be news about this in the future.

Anyway, Firebird users has tons of third party access components (IBO, FIBPlus, InterXpress, UIB, Zeos, etc. etc.) to be used with Delphi so, no official support doesn’t mean any big problem for us.

Check the press release information here. This is the first Delphi version released after CodeGear was sold to Embarcadero.
