Playing with Django and Firebird

I’ve been messing around with Django for a while now and having fun. It reminded me of why and how I got started in this field.

[ED:There is an nice firebird mention ]

Using Apache, Webware and Firebird as the database I set out to build something.

Firebird? Yes anything to avoid the MySQL bandwagon. I couldn’t say for sure now, but at the time Firebird was far superior to MySQL. The Firebird team didn’t think that ACID properties, foreign key constraints, stored procedures etc. were just some esoteric optional extras for something with pretensions to being an RDBMS.

Firebird Relational Database ‘protocol.cpp’ XDR Protocol Remote Memory Corruption Vulnerability

Firebird is prone to an integer-overflow vulnerability because it fails to ensure that integer values aren’t overrun. Attackers may exploit this issue to overflow a buffer and to corrupt process memory.

Attackers may be able to execute arbitrary machine code in the context of an affected application. Failed exploit attempts will likely result in a denial-of-service condition.
