FlameRobin 0.8.3 released

We've rolled out a new release as promised, mostly bugfixes with some important improvements in efficiency(faster work over slow links, faster processing of long SQL statements and more responsive data grid when used with large datasets), please download it and try it. We have binary packages for Windows, Linux, Mac OS X, and sources, of course. This is a bugfix release for 0.8.1. Here are the things fixed in 0.8.3.

wxWidgets 3.0

However soon -- hopefully in the beginning of the next year -- we will release wxWidgets 3.0 which will be the first change of major version since a long time and only the second time it happens in wxWidgets history. So it may be interesting to look at what exactly has changed to warrant this and I'll try to briefly describe it in this post.
[Hurray we will get rid of wxT() macro in code ]

x2develop: Jiří Činčura : FlameRobin Portable

I like the software without installation, just one exe, one config saved on some well know place or near exe. For Firebird administration, I'm mainly using wfsql (better isql), IBExpert and FlameRobin (and sometimes isql).

Windows test builds

I will be posting test builds of the SVN code for Windows (Ansi and Unicode versions) from time to time. You will be able to find them at the test-builds directory of the FlameRobin website.

The first available version is built from SVN trunk, revision 1522.

Just unzip the proper version (vc/flamerobin.exe for Windows 95 and 98, vcu/flamerobin.exe for Windows 2000, XP and Vista) into your program directory. The builds are for testing new features and may have bugs, so if you depend on FlameRobin and want to make sure that you can go back to the last official version, just rename the original executable instead of overwriting it.

Accepted flamerobin 0.8.1 in debian

Mandriva 2008 errata with new flamerobin 0.8.1 included

Various crasher bugs in Flamerobin

The version included with Mandriva Linux 2008 of Flamerobin, a database administration tool, contained various bugs that could potentially lead to crashes.

We have chosen to fix this issue by providing a new release through the /contrib/updates repository. The updated package, flamerobin-0.8.1-1mdv2008.0, was released on October 23rd 2007. It provides version 0.8.1, which fixes several of these crasher bugs. See the "Installing Updates" section, above, for instructions on installing packages from /contrib/updates.

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

creating an flamerobin/firebird livecd with ubuntu feisty fawn


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
exit
sudo mkisofs -r -V "$IMAGE_NAME" -cache-inodes -J -l -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table -o ../ubuntu-7.04-desktop-i386-flamerobin.iso .
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
password:masterkey
and the path
