End users of your applications are often likely to have some tool for extra data handling. They want some simple and easy-to-use user filter and they’d like to control data sorting. Building CleverFilter in your applications you will enable them to control the data.
CleverFitler helps you to set extra conditions for ready queries. Users won’t waste time studying the internal database structure, and you only need to set some fields in design-time, which will be seen in the user filter
CleverFilter is a native component set and its evaluation versions are distributed partially in sources. Registering CleverFilter you get full sources of components and technical support.

Michael Bayer, developer of SQLAlchemy ORM tool for python writes:
Ben Bangert has been so kind as to donate part of his hosting space for a SQLAlchemy buildbot, which is specifically against SQLAlchemy builds (unlike the “main” SQLAlchemy buildbbot which is against the Python trunk). its over at: http://pylonshq.com:8012/ . Anyone who feels like donating a slave (such as to test firebird, windows, etc.) can jump right on.

phpMyFAQ is a multilingual, completely database-driven FAQ system.
I did a talk on various strategies of how to bridge relational databases and object-oriented programming. In retrospect I should have submitted this as a “double feature” talk, so that I could cover more ground on the actual using of the existing packages in the PHP space.
The other talk was on database locking. I think the biggest eye opener for people in that talk was about how MVCC, found in Firebird, Oracle, InnoDB and PostreSQL, really works and how to control the behavior as needed.
We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC1 package. This is the first release candidate which is meant to become the Gold release if no more bugs or problems arise. Of course there may be more than one release candidate
