Hi *,
I help maintain the database subsystem for the FPC FreePascal compiler.
With the release of 3.0 alpha, I was wondering:
0. Firebird 3 has a 2.x compatibility mode - but you won't use the new
network protocol if you use that, and the compatibility module can be
switched off in the db, right?
1. Does it make sense to start rewriting drivers against the new (C) API
or are there still major changes possible/likely before release
2. Have any of the others (ADO.Net, Java, ODBC, python,...) already
started? Any lessons learned?
3. Is there anything I forgot that may be relevant ;)
Thanks a lot,
Reinier
