Обсуждение: And ppl complain about *our* beta cycles ...
From the Firebird FAQ: "The first beta was released on January 29, 2003. We are hoping to be close to a full release some time around Easter 2003." They are at RC8 right now ... running a *wee* bit behind scheduale :) ---- Marc G. Fournier Hub.Org Networking Services (http://www.hub.org) Email: scrappy@hub.org Yahoo!: yscrappy ICQ: 7615664

Last time I read, the only major issues preventing their final release is around the installer. The 1.5 codebase itself has been stabilized for quite a while. Practically all work is now done to the 2.0 branch/HEAD. They have several goodies in store for the 2.0 release (e.g.: incremental backup). I think the Firebird team wants to make sure that their first public release to the world is really good. (Okay, they have some 1.0.x releases too but these were mainly bugfixes for IB 6.0, its predecessor; and there are *lots* of bugs being fixed). FB 1.5 is the first version that uses the new C++ codebase. Anyway, I'm certainly not among those who complain. I believe Postgres is already moving ahead faster than any other open source and semi-commercial database projects that I know of. You guys are doing a great great job. :-) -- dave

I kind of miss them from my Informix times (hey, I think it's the only thing I really miss :-) ). Maybe when PITR is ready, making incremental backups will be trivial. -- select 'mmarques' || '@' || 'unl.edu.ar' AS email; --------------------------------------------------------- Martín Marqués | Programador, DBA Centro de Telemática | Administrador Universidad Nacional del Litoral ---------------------------------------------------------

A kind of delayed standby server and backup with roll forward stuff will be a byproduct of the Slony-I replication system.
