flamerobin with g++4 (on ubuntu breezy)

now it compiles with g++4 (on 64 bit)

I have checkout ibpp 2.4 from cvs

cat ../ibpp_checkout.sh

cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/ibpp co -r rel_2_4 -P ibpp2

and overwrote the version that is in flamerobin tree

seems i had to recompile wxwidgets ;)

When i started flamerobin got this message

The library used 2.6 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 102,wx containers,compatible with 2.4),

and your program used 2.6 (no debug,Unicode,compiler with C++ ABI 1002,wx containers,compatible with 2.4).

Finally it worked after wxwidgets recompile

FlameRobin - administration tool for Firebird DBMS

Milan will speak about flamerobin at Firebird Conference

FlameRobin - administration tool for Firebird DBMS

FlameRobin is light-weight cross-platform Firebird administration tool built entirely with open source software. This session will cover the project's goals, history, and FlameRobin's features. It will also show some specifics of the tool, and ways to use it efficiently and effectively.

---

The power of Firebird events

Events are one of the least known features of Firebird. This session explains basics of event functionality, and then explores various ways to use events and possible configuration problems and issues. It also shows the possibility to use Firebird in an unusual way: Firebird acting as a chat server.

FlameRobin 0.4.0 released

After a long time, we finally made an official release again. 0.4.0
release brings some new features, a lot of bug fixes, and FreeBSD port.


Known issues:
-------------

- Backup and restore use display name instead of hostname. Be sure to
use the same if you backup/restore from FR

- On Linux and FreeBSD FlameRobin stores it's files in system wide
directories. This means that you cannot simply unpack and run it
anymore, you need to install it. To simplify the process, we provide a
Makefile in our binary packages. So, went you unpack the binary package,
just run "make install" as root. Alternatively, you can install from
.deb or .rpm package which don't require those steps.


Here's a list of new features and bugfixes since 0.2.5:

New features
------------

- History of SQL statements, presistent even after closing program
- Activate/deactivate option for triggers
- "Drop multiple columns" option for tables
- Execute option for procedures
- Preferences can be set on database basis (ex. logging)
- Option to restore backup into new database
- Support for SET AUTODDL isql feature and option to automatically
commit DDL statements
- Support for RECREATE and CREATE OR ALTER statements
- FreeBSD port
- Support for computed columns (shown in tree, removed from insert
statements)
- Calltips for UDFs
- Properties page for UDFs
- Option "create new trigger" for tables and views
- Support for table indices - display, add, drop, recompute stats., edit
descriptions
- Property page for view's triggers
- Select object's name in SQL editor and get its properties page
- Context menu for properties windows with options to print and save
contents
- Implemented "open in new window" context menu option for properties
page links
- Added main menu for main application window
- Added "diplay name" to servers and databases
- "Connect as" option for databases: ability to connect as different
user/role without need to register new database



Enhancements and Bug fixes
--------------------------

- Fixed bug when password is supplied upon connecting
- Fixed parsing of committed statements when statement starts with a comment
- Main menu system reorganized
- Configuration files reorganized: user configuration files stored in
user's directories
- Option to hide the status bar
- Option to hide databases that are not connected
- Fixed background colors of read-only fields in various dialogs

- Improved handling when adding NOT NULL columns
- Fixed bug when SP and triggers contained ampersand (&) in source (FR
would hang)
- Size and position of minimized windows is not stored anymore
- Pressing function keys and clicking buttons in SQL editor now does the
same
- Prompt to overwrite files when saving in SQL editor
- Faster startup upon connection since domains are loaded on-demand
- Dropping tables and views now properly removes triggers from tree
- Fixed parsing of CREATE,ALTER,DROP trigger statements (tables/views
get notified)
- Saving data to html file now uses default .html extension if user does
not supply it
- Fixed and improved dependencies detection for database objects
- Fixed logging to file: newlines are added when headers are off
- Registration of Firebird embedded server is now possible from application
- Firebird 1.5 charsets made available, charset box is user editable to
support future charsets
- Current tree item's database printed in status bar instead of tooltip
- Improved connecting speed by postponing loading of autogenerated
domain info

IBPP and FlameRobin

I just need to write a word of clarification here for people who do not
read the flamerobin-devel list. Though I very well know it wasn't the
intent of Milan to say so, the above sentence, taken of its context,
might be misunderstood by people at large.

What Milan wanted to say is that the FlameRobin project now has
integrated a copy of the source code of IBPP right in the codebase of
FlameRobin. This makes it easier for people to build FlameRobin from
sourcecode, since people don't need to also build IBPP by itself. It's
just built inside FlameRobin as if it was source code of FlameRobin.
That is a good simplification, which I am happy to have suggested to my
friends at FlameRobin.

Since FlameRobin uses a copy of the source code, from time to time, the
ibpp version integrated in FlameRobin may be or may not be the latest
version of ibpp. At any time the one found in FlameRobin will be the one
chosen by FlameRobin for their own needs. They may be using the
cutting-edge latest beta or alpha or be 2 released versions behind
(which I wouldn't believe by the way  ;-)  ).

This said, nothing changed regarding IBPP itself. It is and will stay an
independent project. An independent project which is happy being used
and relied upon by several open-source projects or commercial products,
including of course FlameRobin.

If you don't know yet about FlameRobin, I urge you to visit their
website at http://www.flamerobin.org because this is an excellent piece
of software which I use daily for the vast majority of my Firebird
databases maintenance.

Yours,

Coding Conventions review

I'd like everybody involved in writing or changing code to take a
look at the Coding Conventions wiki page

http://www.flamerobin.org/dokuwiki/doku.php?id=wiki:coding_conventions

and let us know about any remarks, missing pieces, proposed changes or
additions (without resurrecting issues already dealt with in the past,
if possible ;-)), so that we can consider the conventions valid and
reformatting work doesn't go wasted.

Ciao

FreeBSD port

"Today I managed to build IBPP on FreeBSD. Some minor changes were needed to the Makefile, and some thing are slightly different, but it compiles and works. I soon plan to create a document with instructions, and also send a patch to the Makefile.

For the test, I tried and successfully built mine FBCopy tool, and it works.

As this is part of porting FlameRobin to FreeBSD, I used IBPP version 2.3.5.0. Would you like me to make patch against some other version?

Of course, I'm writing all this hoping that there is some interest in FreeBSD port."

Those particular wheels don't work in Linux, Mac OS X, ...

All of those you mentioned are way too bloated for my taste.

Don't be sorry to say it.  Not that your personal opinion matters that
much to me.  But anyway, if half of those giving others good advise on
what they should invest their time into - and what not - would
*themselves* help any project to improve, OSS would be unstoppable indeed...
