firebird

Environment I am using Firebird database with SQLAlchemy as ORM wrapper. Backgound I know that by using in_ it is possible to pass the sales_id list in IN clause and get the result. I have a use case where I must use textual sql . Question Here is my snippet, conn.execute('select * from sellers where salesid in (:sales_id)', sales_id=[1, 2, 3] ).fetchall() This always throws token unknown error All I need is to pass the list of sales_id ( [1, 2, 3] ) to bind parameter ( :sales_id ) and get the result set. If using a DB-API driver that does not provide special handling of tuples and lists for

Firebird and InterBase keep a compiled form of stored procedures and triggers in BLR (tokenized) format. But I do not really know the structure of BLR. Is field size the part of the BLR? Would I get some problems when a stored procedure contains two fields (source and destination), and later I'll change the size of these two fields? For example they were varchar(50) long, but now I change them to varchar(100) with system table updates. What will happen? Would it only copy 50 characters, or all (100)? Or does BLR contains only object links (tables and fields)? I will try to demonstrate with

i would like to create a program that can access my firebird database on 2 different computers via the internet. i would like to know what connection to use and what parameters to set. thanks There are some libraries available - see here for a rather comprehensive list. For the libraries which support more database back-end you must choose the Firebird driver (usually is called Interbase/Firebird Driver or IB/FB Driver). For protocol, choose TCP/IP - for connection string you must have your server public IP address : your full database file path as seen by FB server . The exact format depends

Looking for a good embedded db for my asp.net apps while trying to avoid SQLExpress ( I need it to be a downloable file(s) with no need to install at server ), I found Firebird. But: According to this: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embedded_database#Firebird_Embedded It has the same features as the classic and superserver version of Firebird, except that two or more THREADS (not just applications) cannot access the same database at the same time. So Firebird embedded acts as a local server for a single threaded client accessing its databases (that means it doesn't work properly for ASP.NET web

I do not understand. There is a window registry key of firebird server I want to check if it exists. The key exists but the function returns false. What is wrong? I'm using Windows 7 64x with delphi 2010. Tks. Davis. procedure x; var reg:TRegistry; begin reg := TRegistry.Create; reg.RootKey := HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE; if reg.OpenKey('\SOFTWARE\Firebird Project\Firebird Server\Instances',false)=true then begin ShowMessage('Key exists'); end; end; The most likely reason is that you have opened the key requesting write access but on Windows 7 under UAC, users do not, by default, have write access to

I want to update all passwords in the DB to have a MD5 hashes password. The following doesn't solve my problem: UPDATE USERS SET USERPASS = hash('SALT' || USERPASS); Problem being: it returns a hash that was not generated using the MD5 algorithm. How can I impliment the md5 hash algorithm in Firebird? Unfortunately the algortihm of the hash function is not mentioned in the documentation ... anyway, you can implement it as an UDF or use some thirdparty UDF lib which implements it. There is a list of UDF Libraries for Firebird on the IBPhoenix website and it seems that both rFunc and

I am really new to Firebird and I want to implement really really easy task in order to understand how I can work with it. Can you please give me a link or a piece of code with a little information about how I can reach Firebird using Qt ? Thank you very much for you all Mariuz The Qt toolkit contains many great SQL drivers and among them is also an FireBird SQL driver. http://doc.qt.io/qt-5/sql-driver.html#qibase-for-borland-interbase To use it on windows/linux you need to recompile the driver Here is one example with Firebird embedded : . http://www.codeproject.com/Articles/47457/Get-Started
