Re: [Firebird-devel] Planning the post v3 development

[Dalton C. <dal...@gm...>]

I will begin with the list of items I would like to see implemented.

Object Names of at least 64 bytes -                        Core 749
Schemas plus associated objects (synonyms etc) - Core 738
Firebird native for Android  -                                   Core 3885
Scheduler for Firebird -                                           Core 1613
Database Links -                                                    Core 776

The first two items are so obvious, I can not think of anyone who would
argue against them.   I will defend those items, but won't in this
particular email.
Android and iOS native clients if not native servers, are extremely
important given the market growth in those areas and the lack of a good
solid database engine to work with.
A scheduler for firebird would totally eliminate my own use of custom
applications tied to database events/time events.   I am sure that I am not
the only person who has had to develop around the lack of a scheduler/event
handler in firebird that runs in its own transaction/user space.
Database links, which would require the Object names and schema support,
would allow for developers to implement many features manually that are now
in the wish list catagory.   For example, you could put each schema into a
remote server/database, allowing for basic clustering (before you jump on
me, I know it is more complex than that, I have implemented alot of this
via other code).   You could easily develop your own replication systems.
 One feature change, could be used to implement so many other requested
features as well as providing a tool so that developers/users could come up
with new ways of using firebird that are not even imagined now.

best regards

Dalton
