Re: [stellation-res] CVS updates: merge fixes, and multiple database server support

While I was at it, I fixed the server code so that you can specify the
type of database accessed by the server. This is a *very*
preliminary change: it works with postscript, and it appears to
be calling the DB2 access point constructor correctly, but since
I do not have an installed copy of DB2, I can't be certain. I think
db2 access still needs one more change on the server side, to
allow the client to correctly identify a DB2 repository for
authentication.
Hi,
I've been considering to enable Stallation to work with Firebird --the open source version of InterBase.
FireBird is available and supported in multiple platforms: Win32, Linux, Solaris (sparc), HP-UX (i386), MacOS X. Also there are unsupported builds for FreeBSD, Solaris(i386) and AIX.
Borland sells a commercial version of InterBase and also provides a free open version of it.
A couple of years ago I decided to work with InterBase for linux because I considered it an excellent DBMS. At that time I chose it instead of PostgreSQL or MySQL because it was the only free database supporting transactions. Several million records stored in production databases make me think I made a good choice.
If anyone can help me update Stellation to provide Firebird/InterBase support please let me know.
In case you want to take a look at Firebird or Interbase visit:
http://firebird.sourceforge.net/
or
http://www.borland.com/interbase/index.html
Additionally, Borland integrates Eclipse consortium so there might be a chance to get official support.
What do you think of this idea?
