flamerobin/firebird livecd+bootable usb key with mandriva this time

I made a Mandriva Live CD with Firebird

Inside is Mandriva 2007.1, Firebird 2.0.1 Classic, Flamerobin, Ibwebadmin,
kinterbasdb.

Default language is French, but you can change it.
The good news is that it made with MCNLive so you can do your own iso from it
and even make your own bootable usb key, simply using a wizzard !
Thanks MCNLive.

To download it :
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/firebird-fr/fbmdv.iso
http://downloads.sourceforge.net/firebird-fr/fbmdv.iso.md5.txt

Next step will be to add Lazarus FreePascal on it with UIB components

You can download the final live cd from this page 
i used this guide
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/LiveCDCustomization
download ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso from http://www.ubuntu.com/getubuntu/download
in my case my nearest mirror
wget http://ftp.iasi.roedu.net/mirrors/ubuntulinux.org/releases/feisty/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso
sudo apt-get install squashfs-tools mkisofs qemu
sudo modprobe squashfs
cp ~/ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso ~/live/
cd ~/live
mkdir mnt
sudo mount -o loop ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386.iso mnt
mkdir extract-cd
rsync --exclude=/casper/filesystem.squashfs -a mnt/ extract-cd
mkdir squashfs
sudo mount -t squashfs -o loop mnt/casper/filesystem.squashfs squashfs
mkdir edit
sudo cp -a squashfs/* edit/
sudo cp /etc/resolv.conf edit/etc/
sudo cp /etc/hosts edit/etc/
sudo chroot edit
mount -t proc none /proc
mount -t sysfs none /sys
export HOME=/root
export LC_ALL=C
in the Customization part (after you do sudo chroot edit)
I decomented the two lines in /etc/apt/sources.list  sudo vi /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe
deb-src http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu feisty universe 
apt-get update 
apt-get install flamerobin 
apt-get install firebird2-super-server 

Please enter new password for SYSDBA user:masterkey 
apt-get clean 
rm -rf /tmp/* 
rm /etc/resolv.conf 
umount /proc 
umount /sys
exit
chmod +w extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest
sudo chroot edit dpkg-query -W --showformat='${Package} ${Version}\n' > extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest
sudo cp extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop
sudo sed -ie '/ubiquity/d' extract-cd/casper/filesystem.manifest-desktop

sudo rm extract-cd/casper/filesystem.squashfs
sudo mksquashfs edit extract-cd/casper/filesystem.squashfs
sudo -s
rm extract-cd/md5sum.txt
cd extract-cd && find . -type f -print0 | xargs -0 md5sum > md5sum.txt

qemu -cdrom ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386-flamerobin.iso -boot d

or write the iso ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386-flamerobin.iso on the dvd with k3b or nautilus
after the system boots you can create an database with
the username:sysdba

install firbird 2.0.2 and flamerobin on ubuntu dapper LTS version (amd64)

I have been a big fan of the Firebird database for a while now. It is a fast, reliable and maintenance free database which suits my needs. While it is very good at a couple of things, one of the features that I like is the fact that the entire database is stored in one file. In principle this is not important, but it is pretty clean and can be very useful.

FlameRobin worth $1.2 milion

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 :)

New testing version is here

I rebuilt FR against wxWidgets 2.8.4, with only one small change: In
Ansi build the fr_databases.conf file is saved now with the system
character set. The conversion to and from UTF-8 does not work in the
Ansi build, anyway, so all characters >= 128 (like umlaut chars) where
mangled.

I hope these work for all of you, but please make a backup copy of your
fr_databases.conf file *before* you test the new executables. Please
find them at

http://www.flamerobin.org/mghie/FR_0.7.7_wx2.8.4.zip>

and check them out. Should work much better than the build against CVS
HEAD, and could be a good test for using 2.8.4 for the next official
FlameRobin build.

Thanks for any feedback

Keyboard shortcuts for advanced users ?

Eugen Stoianovici wrote on the flamerobin-devel lists :

First of all, i've been using flamerobin ever since i've switched from postgress to firebird(some time last spring or summer) and it's great .
Are there any keyboard shortcuts implemented in flamerobin's main window?

It would be great if i could use my mouse less than now. Here's what i have in mind
:
main window
1. Shortcut for registering new server
2. Shortcut for registering new database
3. Shortcut for running a query
4. Shortcut for disconnect

query window

1. Shortcut for new window

I'ld be more than happy to implement these features but instead of diving right into coding, i wanted to ask for an unified view on this matter

flamerobin+firebird+ibutils mentioned on one blog post (written in Italian language)

In particolare, in seguito alla continua ricerca in rete di "strumenti" (sempre aggratiss) per lavorare con Firebird e in seguito a ripetuti confronti tra tutto ciò che offre il web, mi sento di poter riassumere in due link quelli che sono attualmente i miei ferri del mestiere che, quindi, consiglio a tutti: Flamerobin, per lavorare via sql con tabelle e procedure, IBUtils per disegnare la struttura del db in maniera grafica e visuale.
