Re: [Firebird-devel] Fb3 and embedded
Hello Paul Here is the link to the issues I had reported to the version 2.5.1 make scripts: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=27081999 At least the modification for make_examples.bat are not in the trunk. Maybe the same is missing in FB3 trunk Best regards Christian P.S.: Sorry for triple posting, sometimes I am too impatient... -- Live Security Virtual Conference Exclusive live event will cover all the ways today's security and threat landscape has changed and how IT managers can respond.

[Firebird-devel] Firebird and Qt
Hello Firebird team I am using Firebird since many years, and since some time also in combination with the Qt Framework. Today I have encountered, that the QIBASE driver has only a minimalistic implementation. Has someone tried to upgrade/rework the QIBASE driver to support the Firebird 2.5 functions? The QIBASE plug in QT 4 uses the isc_ functions to access the fbclient. Is this still the suggested way? A stand alone implementation of Firebird embedded in the Qt development environment could boost the Firebird user base. Has someone already tried to do this?

Re: [Firebird-devel] Firebird and Qt
Hello Marius Hello Dimitry Thanks for the info. So I will look at Qt 5.0 and the current QIBASE driver, and take the effort to contribute to Qt. But I know only the Windows platform well.

[Firebird-devel] Feature request & discussion for V4 (same as for V3)
In Firebird CORE-659 (http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-659) there is a collection of requests for spatial index, e.g. R*Tree or GiST, for GIS applications and other. Spatial indexes are also fine to find events in a interval of time. R* Tree at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R*_tree GiST at http://gist.cs.berkeley.edu/ I think the support of spatial indexes can bring a lot of new users from SQLite (https://www.sqlite.org/rtree.html ) and PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/indexes-types.html) to FireBird.
