Free firebird .net data provider software for linux

Firebird .NET Data Provider is an ADO.NET data provider for Firebird. Firebird .NET Data Provider is written in C# and provides a high-performance native implementation of the Firebird API. It also includes an implementation of the Firebird Services API and Firebird array datatype support.

Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL standard features that runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems, under a variety of names since 1981.

Firebird is a commercially independent project of C and C++ programmers, technical advisors and supporters developing and enhancing a multi-platform relational database management system based on the source code released by Inprise Corp (now known as Borland Software Corp) on 25 July, 2000 under the InterBase Public License v.1.0

Installing:

In order to install the firebird version of IB 6.0 you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Get the required packages:

Get the glibc update from RedHat, the one I used
was from ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/glibc-2.2-5.i386.rpm

Get ncurses4 from
ftp://carrier.ision.net/pub/ftp.redhat.com/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS/ncurses4-5.0-2.i386.rpm
or another redhat mirror.

Get Firebird from
ftp://firebird.sourceforge.net/pub/firebird/release/FirebirdSS-0.9-1.i386.rpm

2. Prepare the installation:

Log in as root.
Use a plain text console to do this and be sure
that all Gnome desktops are closed.
(One user reported that the Gnome desktop
(apparently ICEwm)
blocked port 3050. I could not reproduce this
here, but it seems that it uses port numbers
that arent assigned in /etc/services for own
purposes)

3. Add localhost.localdomain to /etc/hosts.equiv:
echo localhost.localdomain >>/etc/hosts.equiv

4. Change to the directory where you have placed
the downloaded packages.

5. Install the glibc update:
rpm --install --force glibc-2.2-5.i386.rpm

6. Install libncurses.so.4:
rpm --install --force ncurses4-5.0-2.i386.rpm

7. Install Firebird:
rpm --install --force FirebirdSS-0.9-1.i386.rpm

8. Add /opt/interbase/bin to your path:
You can either change /etc/profile
or do
export PATH=$PATH: /opt/interbase/bin
or
change the profiles in your users home directories

9. Check that all went well:

Read /opt/interbase/SYSDBA.password
to get your SYSDBA password.

gsec -display
should display the list of known users
(SYSDBA only after a fresh install)

isql /opt/interbase/examples/employee.gdb
SQL> SHOW TABLES;
should display all tables from this database
SQL>quit;

AI::NeuralNet::BackProp is a simple back-prop neural net that uses Deltas and Hebbs rule.

SYNOPSIS

use AI::NeuralNet::BackProp;
# Create a new network with 1 layer, 5 inputs, and 5 outputs.
my $net = new AI::NeuralNet::BackProp(1,5,5);

# Add a small amount of randomness to the network
$net->random(0.001);

# Demonstrate a simple learn() call
my @inputs = ( 0,0,1,1,1 );
my @ouputs = ( 1,0,1,0,1 );

print $net->learn(@inputs, @outputs),"n";

# Create a data set to learn
my @set = (
[ 2,2,3,4,1 ], [ 1,1,1,1,1 ],
[ 1,1,1,1,1 ], [ 0,0,0,0,0 ],
[ 1,1,1,0,0 ], [ 0,0,0,1,1 ]
);

# Demo learn_set()
my $f = $net->learn_set(@set);
print "Forgetfulness: $f unitn";

# Crunch a bunch of strings and return array refs
my $phrase1 = $net->crunch("I love neural networks!");
my $phrase2 = $net->crunch("Jay Lenno is wierd.");
my $phrase3 = $net->crunch("The rain in spain...");
my $phrase4 = $net->crunch("Tired of word crunching yet?");

# Make a data set from the array refs
my @phrases = (
$phrase1, $phrase2,
$phrase3, $phrase4
);

# Learn the data set
$net->learn_set(@phrases);

# Run a test phrase through the network
my $test_phrase = $net->crunch("I love neural networking!");
my $result = $net->run($test_phrase);

# Get this, it prints "Jay Leno is networking!" ... LOL!
print $net->uncrunch($result),"n";

AI::NeuralNet::BackProp is the flagship package for this file. It implements a nerual network similar to a feed-foward, back-propagtion network; learning via a mix of a generalization of the Delta rule and a disection of Hebbs rule. The actual neruons of the network are implemented via the AI::NeuralNet::BackProp::neuron package

Net::Amazon::Property::DVD is a Perl class for DVDs on amazon.com.

SYNOPSIS

use Net::Amazon;

# ...

if($resp->is_success()) {
for my $prop ($resp->properties) {
print $_->title(), " ",
$_->studio(), " ",
$_->year(), "n";
}

Net::Amazon::Property::DVD is derived from Net::Amazon::Property and on top of the all-purpose methods the base class provides, it offers specialized accessors for DVD parameters.

METHODS

title()

Returns the title of the DVD.

studio()

Returns the studio.

directors()

Returns a list of directors. Note that theres also a director() method only returning the first director.

starring()

Returns the same list as the method actors().

upc()

Returns the DVDs UPC as a string.

media()

Returns the DVDs media type as a string.

nummedia()

Returns the DVDs number of media (number of discs) as a string.

theatrical_release_date()

Returns the DVDs theatrical release date.

mpaa_rating()

Returns the DVDs MPAA rating.

features()

Returns the DVDs features as a list of strings. Examples: "Color", "Closed-captioned", "Widescreen".

new(xmlref => $xmlref)

Initializes an object by passing a hash of hashes structure containing the XML data returned from the service. Usually, this is just used by Net::Amazon internally to initialize objects for on backcoming data.
Check out Net::Amazon::Property for all-purpose accessors, like year, OurPrice, ListPrice, etc.

desktop-data-manager includes a clipboard history for many different types of content (text, images, ...) and an application to take screenshots from a single window/subwindow, rectangle of the screen or the whole desktop.

The two applications are designed to work well together. For more details please visit my homepage.

Notes: If you find some bugs/problems with the application please contact me at einki(at)users.sourceforge.net. The Program is programmed to work in a GTK/GNOME environment but at least the basic functionalities will work in KDE too.

FireFoot is library that provides an easy way for C language programmers to connect to Firebird database servers (and provably Interbase). It uses the Firebird/Interbase API.
Library supports:
- Create, delete, connect to Firebird database servers.
- Single transaction management.
- Common or parametrized SQL statement support.
- Support for basic data types and BLOBs.
- User management support.
- Support the backup and restore of databases.
This library exists as an alternative of Firebird/Interbase C language API. It is made in C language, using GLib object model.
- It is planned to be multiplatform, working at least on Linux and Windows. Until now it is only tested on Linux, but shouldnt be a problem to port it to Windows.
FireFoot libary is released under the GNU/GPL version 2 licence.

phpDatabase.net is an free and pure php database script.
Main features:
- creating and dropping database
- creating, changing and dropping tables and sequences
- selecting, inserting, updating and deleting data from tables
- automatic locking of files, so simultanous changing the data is possible.
- transaction processing, commiting or rolling back of made changes
- default auto commiting mode
For all of this you only need to download one php Script , include it and start to use its functions in your own php Application. Of course this will never be so performant and universal as fore example MySql but very often it is just enough. First application where we used it was phpAlbum.net.
phpDatabase is a PHP database library, implementing database features without using any third party database system. You have only to include it in your code as following:
require("phpdatabase.php");
and you can start using its functions.
This library has four main categories of functions:
- Database functions - used for creating and dropping database
- Error handling functions - used to request the error status of db,i.e. last error message
- DDL functions - data definition language, used for creating and manipulating database objects like tables
Enhancements:
- Bugfix release, corrected replacing of column names in where and set clauses.
