Flamerobin/firebird blog of the day

"Uno dei motivi che fin'ora hanno tenuto Firebird lontano dagli end users è stata la mancanza di una gui per l'amministrazione comparabile all'ottimo phpMyAdmin. Lacuna che però verrà presto colmata da Flamerobin, progetto ancora in alpha ma sicuramente valido"

Flamerobin mentioned in Firebird article (Entwickler Magazin)

"Also in the range of the administration tools comes with "FlameRobin" [ 3 ] somewhat directly from the Firebird project. It concerns here a CROSS platform tool for the administration of a Firebird data base. FlameRobin however still is in an early development stage. For the professional development of Firebird data bases I recommend further the use of third manufacturer products to you such as DATA cousin Workbench [ 4 ] or IBExpert [ 5 ]."

flamerobin/firebird mention on linuxdevices.com

"Firebird is an open source, embeddable (within other applications) SQL database that grew out of Borland Interbase. The project includes a database engine, ODBC driver, "Jaybird" native class 4 JCA-JDBC driver, .NET data provider, and extensive documentation and testing materials. A related "FlameRobin" project aims to provide a graphical interface assembled from open source components."

FlameRobin on Solaris

[ed: response letter to bjoern.reimer]

We met at the Firebird conference. You said that your (or some of your
coleagues) are interested in FlameRobin on Solaris.

I don't know if you tried it yet, but here's a brief overview. You need
to build wxWidgets first, and then FlameRobin. You can obtain wxWidgets
from www.wxwidgets.org. As I understand it has already been ported to
Solaris, so there shouldn't be much problem, just follow the
instructions in "docs" folder. You should use at least wxWidgets version
2.6.0 or any higher. Please use wxAll package, as others probably don't
have all the files needed for Solaris.

After you built and installed wxWidgets, you need also to build the
wxSTC component (wxStyledTextControl) that we use for SQL editor. It is
usually done by going into "contrib/src/stc" and running "make" and
"make install" in there.

Here's how I do it on Linux and FreeBSD, it shouldn't be much different
on Solaris:

[unpack wx sources and enter that directory]
./configure
make
make install
cd contrib/src/stc
make
make install


The ./configure script has many options, where you can choose whether
you want the debug or release version, enable or disable Unicode, etc.
Here are the most important ones:

--enable-debug
--enable-unicode
--enable-shared
--enable-gtk

There are some defaults, but if you want to make sure, then add the
appropriate --enable or --disable switch. Using:

./configure --disable-unicode --disable-shared

should be a safe bet. I'm not sure if Solaris uses Gtk, so you better
skip that and leave it to autodetection.

Next, you need to build FlameRobin. You can either use 0.4.0 source
available for download from the website, or the latest CVS version. I
recommend CVS as it has many fixes. Our CVS tree is still in the old
"fbmanager" project at sourceforge.net (yes, we *do* need to move it
over to flamerobin), you need to fetch the "mghie" module from it.

In FlameRobin's source tree, create top-level directory named "build" or
something like that. Then, cd into it and run:

../configure

This should setup things properly. I recommend you use the same
--enable-debug or --disable-debug switch you used with wxWidgets. After
that, run

make
make install

And that should be it. Should you have any problems, feel free to
contact me directly, or join our mailing list (low traffic) at:

We got pictures from the Firebird Conference, made by our guys. In the first picture, you can see Milan, Nando and Michael. That`s the only picture with them. We don`t know why there aren`t any more pictures of them, but we assume beer is to be blamed :)

flamerobin/firebird used in Race to Linux contest

"The real challenge was porting the database access layer. I've a lot of experience in Sql Server and found FireBird really powerfull, the database porting only took me a couple of days since FireBird is veryeasy to learn if you have a good MS Sql background. FlameRobin was very usefull to administer the database and execute testing scripts."

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.
