Firebird 1.5 SQL Temporary Reference Update

June 19, 2008 mariuz Leave a comment

This guide documents the changes made in Firebird 1.0 and 1.5 SQL since the fork from the open-sourced InterBase 6.0 codebase.

Here is the Pual Vinkenoog’s announcement on firebird-docs list

Just uploaded a Firebird 1.5 SQL Update Reference to this temporary location:

This is NOT ready for publication yet, but all the entries are there and (AFIACT) correct, except maybe in one or two places where I have to contact the developers for clarification.

I’ll commit the DocBook sources to the repository and build a version for publication. After that, I’ll start working on update refs for 2.0 and 2.1. After that, I guess we must take the 2.1 ref and start expanding it to a complete Firebird SQL reference. This last step may take some time 😉

Open Source Census

June 16, 2008 Cantu Leave a comment

There is a project going on to measure the usage of Open Source software all over the world. People just download an utility who scan their machines, detects and reports the use of any recognized Open Source package (anonimously, of course). Right now, Firebird is not one of the recognized packages. This can be fixed if some “good soul” creates a Firebird “Fingerprint” and submit it to OSSDiscovery.

Firebird QLI scripts documentation

June 13, 2008 mariuz Leave a comment

Does someome have any links or documentation for qli.exe?

I recently used qli.exe scripts for fixing BD structure corruption as described in this article , since then and I’ve been searching for information about qli commands or scripts but it seems not to be so much information about it.

Near the bottom of this page is a download link for the qli syntax document from InterBase 3. Qli hasn’t changed.

Update: QLI is deprecated and unsupported fore firebird > 2
