Free firebird theater 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

Jaybird is JCA/JDBC driver suite to connect to Firebird database server. Historically Borland opened sources of type 3 JDBC driver called InterClient.

However due to some inherent limitations of Firebird client library it was decided that type 3 driver is a dead end, and Firebird team developed pure Java implementation of wire protocol.

This implementation became basis for JayBird, pure Java driver for Firebird relational database.

This driver is based on both the new JCA standard for application server connections to enterprise information systems and the well known JDBC standard.

The JCA standard specifies an architecture in which an application server can cooperate with a driver so that the application server manages transactions, security, and resource pooling, and the driver supplies only the connection functionality.

While similar to the JDBC 2 XADataSource idea, the JCA specification is considerably clearer on the division of responsibility between the application server and driver.

JayBird 1.5 provides extensions to some JDBC interfaces. All extension interfaces are released under modified BSD license, on “AS IS” basis, this should make linking to these classes safe from the legal point of view. All classes belong to org.firebirdsql.jdbc.* package.

JayBird 1.0 provided only pure Java wire protocol implementation. While being most effective in client-server setups (even more effective than native client libraries), it performed worser when connected to the server residing on the same host compared to native (C/C++/Delphi/etc) solutions. Reason is that type 4 driver communicates with the server using network sockets, which introduce additional overhead. Native client library has possibility to use IPC when connecting to the database on the same host. This might increase performance even by 100%.

JayBird 1.5 provides also type 2 JDBC driver that uses native client library to connect to the databases. Additionally JayBird 1.5 can use embedded version of Firebird relational database allowing to create Java applications that does not require separate server setup.

However type 2 driver has also limitations. Due to multi-threading issues in Firebird client library, it is not possible to access it from different threads simultaneously when running in local mode (IPC). In this case only one thread is allowed to access library at a time. Driver tries to provide needed synchronization.

Current implementation uses mutex that is local to the classloader that loaded JayBird classes. This poses some deployment limitations: firebirdsql.jar must be deployed so, that it is loaded by the system classloader. For standalone web containers like Resin or Tomcat, JayBird should usually be deployed in their lib/ directory. It is allowed to include it in the WAR archives, but if and only if it is guaranteed that only one application will access Firebird.

When accessing remote servers thread per connection policy applies. Driver provides necessary synchronization for this situation.

Embedded version of the server cannot be used on Linux systems in multi-threaded applications. In particular this makes embedded version of the server unusable for web applications, where usually each request is served in separate thread.

Kfb (KDE Firebird Basictool) is a GUI administration tool for the Firebird database system. The application includes most functions offered by Firebird and introduces some new operations said to be impossible

Kfb is programmed with KDevelop (C++ and Qt). It is fully GUI and based mainly on IBPP, another open source project of C++ interface to Firebird APIs. Kfb also includes some other libraries, ncrypt and fbcopy, and all of them are open source projects.

FreevoLive is a live cd, running Mandriva Linux, with Freevo preinstalled. It is meant to show people why Freevo is the way to go for your Home Theater PC!
The CD was build with the mklivecd scripts from MCNLive, which is a live cd created by members of the Dutch MandrivaClub.
Enhancements:
- Updated Freevo to version 1.7.3
- Re-enabled the apple-trailers plugin
- Enabled the new lyrics plugin
- Removed Xine and TVTime (They are not needed by Freevo, and thus dont need to be on the cd, if you want them, you can manually install them).

libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl.
Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework.
The libdbi-drivers project provides the database-specific drivers for the libdbi framework. The drivers officially supported by libdbi are:
- Firebird/Interbase
- FreeTDS (provides access to MS SQL Server and Sybase)
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite/SQLite3
The following drivers are in various stages of completion and are supposed to be included into the next release:
- mSQL
- Oracle
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a packaging error in 0.8.2. There are no source code changes.

FreeJ project is an instrument for realtime manipulation of various video layers combined with live effects. Layers are implemented to mix together webcams, TV, movie files, images and text and can be rendered in various ways.
FreeJ can be operated live using hotkeys, also remotely over networks (VJoE), while operations can also be scripted in a object oriented procedural language (Javascript). The core engine is multithreaded and asynchronous so it can accept various controllers at the same time: by now MIDI and joystick controls are implemented.
FreeJ is being developed in the hope to provide the GNU community with a free instrument for video manipulation: to be employed in veejaying, theater performance and digital scenography, while at present is also being used for visualisation in medical analisys.
FreeJ, as a free modularized GNU/Linux framework, makes it easy to write simple effect algorithms and combine them with others, obtaining multiple results and keeping them compatible with as much devices as possible.
FreeJ is written with efficiency in mind, benefits of a realtime object oriented architecture that makes efficient use of multithreading (in which the layers run in parallel), also taking advantage of multiple CPUs and cluster systems.
The language employed in development is C/C++ respecting POSIX compliance and avoiding the computational bloat of some advanced C++ functions.
Its API is fairly understandable, youll also find a first description in the documentation section.
Main features:
- live compositing of multiple webcams, TV signals,
- movie files, images, TXT files, particle generators and more..
- can be remotely controlled (VJoE)
- can be scripted in procedural object oriented language
- no frame drop when looping movie clips
- Emacs/Vi style console with hotkeys (S-Lang)
- can accept asynchronous controllers at the same time
- (Midi, joystick and more coming..)
- very efficient video engine with multithreaded layers
- 100% GNU Public License Free Software
- modular C/C++ code and flexible API
Version restrictions:
- a GNU/Linux or Apple/OSX workstation (see README.OSX)
- Simple Directmedia Layer library
- S-Lang console library
Enhancements:
- encoding to Ogg/Theora video file
- live streaming to Icecast2
- initial support for audio
- improvements to script functionality
- some libraries are now statically included

fb_mhash is a UDF library for Firebird/Interbase. fb_mhash implements an interface to the mhash library (libmhash).

Main features:
- support hash algorithms
- support hmac algorithms
- support key generator
Enhancements:
- Improved compatibility with Windows, and compiled versions of the library for Windows and Linux.
