Re: [IBPP-DISCUSS] Is IBPP still active?

[Olivier M. <om...@in...>]

I found this: https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-apiods-api.html <https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/release_notes/html/en/3_0/rnfb30-apiods-api.html>
as a pointer to the new API I mentioned earlier.  It may be a bit low-level to be used from application code directly though. It certainly is possible to re-engineer IBPP over that interface, and change significantly some things of the past at the same time.

But I am not in the Firebird world anymore for years and that would be unreasonable to offer to commit myself to the job, even though I'd love to.

You should check this and get pointers to the right documentation through https://firebirdsql.org <https://firebirdsql.org/> I guess.

And I don't seem to find documentation to the C++ API which was brewing (years ago) when I had to leave the project for personal business re-orientation matters.
