How to create new empty FireBird database using FreePascal/Lazarus
This is a very easy task in FreePascal/Lazarus.
IBX for Lazarus (Firebird Express) Release 1.0.2 is now available for Download with minor changes
This is a very minor update from 1.0.1 correcting the FPC version number for the TBookmark type change and should not have affected anything else. There was no announcement as the change would only have affected a tester using FPC 2.6.1.
How to upload/download files from database using Free Pascal/Lazarus
After uploading files in the previous example into database, now we need to download thouse files:
Lazarus Free Pascal RAD IDE 1.0 is released
The Lazarus team is glad to announce the release of:
Lazarus 1.0
At this important stage the current team would like to thank all the past and current people who were involved in getting us here.
* Thanks also go to the FPC team for providing the compiler that makes it all possible.
* Special thanks go to the founders of the project who started Lazarus more than a decade ago in 1999: Cliff Baeseman, Shane Miller and Michael A. Hess.
* A history of developers involved can be found in wiki History page . And a list of the many contributors comes with the distribution.
The release is available for download at the SourceForge download page:

Free Pascal full text index/searcher classes committed in Lazarus svn
ХудожникMichael Van Canneyt announced his full text indexer project:
I’ve committed a file/database indexing and search engine, fpindexer, to SVN.
It was developed by Darius Blaszijk, with help from me. One of the planned uses is
to create searchable documentation. I’ve also (in a private project) used it to
implement full-text search on a database that doesn’t support that natively.
Time Track is a program written in Lazarus and tiopf to allow people to track projects (with Firebird backend)
See the lazarus full thread and you can clone the git repository
It’s a small app that sits in the tray, and can be used to manage project time.
If there is interest, I can donate it to the Lazarus community. It also serves
as a nice example of how to program Lazarus and tiOPF.
It also keeps a todo list and a list of interruptions.
(the helpdesk walks in and out of my office, which I started tracking to
prove that this practice costs me 1.5 hours a day.)
I posted the project at
http://www.freepascal.org/~michael/timetrack.zip
You’ll need tiOPF and a database server.
I use (and recommend) Firebird, but changing it to something
else takes about 2 lines of code.
The included time.sql file creates the database.
