FDB 0.7.0 released

Hi all,

As promised, FDB initial release (0.7.0) is out:
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/fdb/0.7.0

It's almost feature-complete (ready for 95% of users), but it could be
still buggy (it's beta!), and the code wasn't optimized for size and
speed. In all other ways it's ready for wide testing.

What's missing:

- Distributed transactions
- ARRAY support
- EVENTs support
- Stream BLOBs
- TRACE service
- Documentation (but you can use KInterbasDB one as FDB is as close to
it as possible).
- Python 3.x support (haven't had time to test it, but it shouldn't be
hard to make it work there)

What's new since my last post here:

- Support for stored procedures (proper one according to Python DB API,
behaviour is the same as in KInterbasDB)
- Prepared Statements. It works in exactly the same way as in
KInterbasDB, i.e. you can use explicit PS via cursor.prep(), or use the
internal PS cached for all statements executed via cursor.execute() - it
will detect previously executed command and re-use prepared statement
(cached per cursor instance!).

will try to test under Python 3 as soon as possible

make sense

Re: FDB 0.7.0 released

Hi all,

I've tested FDB with slightly modified PowerConsole
(see http://ibphoenix.cz/pwc/ for details), i.e. I've just imported fdb
as kdb and skipped the kinterbasdb initialization. Surprise, surprise,
it works! All issues I was able to find so far were few small bugs in
pwcfb module itself :)

Guess that I'll soon release an update to pwcfb that will fix these few
issues and set dependency to FDB.

best regards

Done. See
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/pwcfb/0.9.2
and
http://pypi.python.org/pypi/PowerConsole/0.7.5

Installing pwcfb should bootstrap all necessary dependencies, including fdb.

Some of the arguments are presented here (yes even php is switching to git from an cvs->svn transition (they
have lost a lot of time with svn migration and now finally doing the right thing)) 
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/dvcs
And more http://whygitisbetterthanx.com/

And you can see other projects that are using git 
http://git-scm.com/

http://git-scm.com/

I have switched over from CVS to SVN years ago and earlier this year I switched to hg (only reason is that the project I needed to work on was on hg) and for my little projects it is absolutely great.

With DVCS you have much more flexibility, branching, sub-repo, clone, merge are I think a lot better then what SVN offers.

Here some more links to read.
http://code.google.com/p/support/wiki/DVCSAnalysis
http://hginit.com/
http://hgbook.red-bean.com/read/

I would experiment with both hg and git and see which fits best for your way of working, I am pretty sure that either of them are better for you then SVN.

Hi all,

I forgot to mention that you can use our JIRA tracker:
http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/PYFB

to submit bug reports and feature requests for FDB.
