I tried to compile Firebird SQL DBMS on OmniOS. Last time I was able to acomplish this was probably version 3 alpha or maybe beta. Definitly not with final release.

Now version 4.0.1 is here. And Solaris is not really a very atractive platform. And there was quite a lot of refactoring and clanup in Firebird's codebase, so it looks like it is not going to work without major investment in time. Is it worth it? Probably not. I can run Firebird just fine under linux emulation in a Solaris Zone. But it would be nice to run it natively. Let's see if I can get it to work.¸

So why would I like to use Firebird. I could just use SQLite or Postgres. I know, but Firebird has a bit of nostalgy for me. I used it before and I like it. It was one of my first database engines. Not really rational, I know. |
