This is an accepted feature request and just needs a little bit of volunteerism to get it started. It's ticket 2125: http://www.sqlalchemy.org/trac/ticket/2125 Per-DBAPI dialects like these are very easy to add and we get help from the community on them regularly, the work is just to get the file and its structures in place, get a successful SQL round trip going, and get some of the rudimentary tests to run. I'm adding to the ticket now: A new file called lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/firebird/firebirdsql.py, which would contain code very similar to that of lib/sqlalchemy/dialects/firebird/kinterbasdb.py. Then the "hello world" test for a dialect is that it gets through at least most of "test.sql.test_query" and in this case "test.dialect.test_firebird". Once there's some code in place I'm happy to help whoever is involved to debug basic issues. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sqlalchemy" group.
