To blob or not to blob… good question! I guess if you develop data intensive applications dealing with large files at some point, you’ve thought about it at least once: should I put my data files inside the database or should I write them directly to disk? Ok, so here’s my point: storing files in Firebird is faster [...]

This is an howto create your own ubuntu live cd with firebird/ubuntu and custom applications ,in guide ubuntu variation used was Xubuntu (is smaller and can be customized easier ) but it works for any hardy release                    

Server generated values - not only autoincrements are very useful think. Entity Framework supports two types “Computed” and “Identity”. When you update or insert entity, these fields are automatically refreshed according to state in database (after calling SaveChanges). For more info look at StoreGeneratedPattern.                    

After a long struggle on Devshed forums I decided to try on my own, after all I know Firebird and don’t see why it and ColdFusion can’t play nice together … infact they did, and easily.                    

Other than CREATE USER something really valuable has been added, the ability to query other databases.                    

I want to implement software which needs a embedded database engine. I search this forum so many times. The language I must use C++. Then I have two methods to choice

Firebird .NET provider has ability to create parameterized queries. Both named and unnamed parameters are supported. Everything works as you expect with select, insert, delete or update commands. The tricky part comes with stored procedures. Unlike MS SQL, that has direct support for named parameters, in provider, we’re parsing parameter names and we’re sending it [...]

With the growing concerns regarding comment SPAM, XSS attacks, security breaches, etc, we should spend some time learning how to defend ourselves against such threats.etc. So, let’s focus on securing our PHP server, thus barring most of the attacks from the start. http://www.alberton.info/secure_php_installation.html

Well, it’s official - we’ve told our sponsors we won’t be participating in the rallye this year. There’s a news items up at our team website about it.

I added FlameRobin to ohloh.net. It took our code from repository and calculated the development cost: 1.200.000 USD. Wow, I guess nobody would want to invest that kind of money into FR, but we invested our time/work instead

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 [...]

My use of Firebird started with its precursor, Interbase. I used Interbase for almost two years in a Delphi project, and at the time I was already doing some Firebird tests to see if it was a good alternative to Interbase. It was. It is. But I ended up not using it. From then on, [...]

I was doing some coding today and couldn’t find some routines I’ve used often in the past. Since I had to search for them, obeying my rule, they get posted here. Maybe they can be of use to others.
