<div dir="ltr"><div>Hello I'm Finishing my Master Degree this Year (2016) in Information Technology at Petru Maior University Romania (Last year i had some familiy issues that now are solved)<a href="http://upm.ro/English/English.html" style="text-decoration:none">http://upm.ro/English/English.html</a> I will work this summer on finishing integration of Firebird backend <a href="https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Finish_Firebird_driver_integration" style="text-decoration:none">https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/GSoC/Ideas#Finish_Firebird_driver_integration</a> The main remaining issue is that the firebird data format embedded in the .odb file is endianess-dependent. The idea is to switch to Firebird's "archive" format that is not. I started by cleaning the previous gerrit and submitting new one Also as time permits fixing the following blockers for firebird integration :<a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=69949" style="text-decoration:none"> bug 69949</a> - table editor should support the autoincrement <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71009" style="text-decoration:none"> bug 71009</a> - relationship management not implemented in GUI <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=71251" style="text-decoration:none"> bug 71251</a> - Creating table from default choices via wizard fails <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=74172" style="text-decoration:none"> bug 74172</a> - no data type DECIMAL/NUMERIC <a href="https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=76072" style="text-decoration:none"> bug 76072</a> - view creation not implemented I will test also firebird 3.0 integration (it should work with old 2.5 c based api with no changes )I started last year a patch that needs to be reworked with Firebird 3.0 RC2/FinalSome it's features would allow easy fixes for example autoincrement (implemented as identity)<a href="https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/master/doc/sql.extensions/README.identity_columns.txt" style="text-decoration:none">https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/blob/master/doc/sql.extensions/README.identity_columns.txt</a>True boolean datatype ...<a href="http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/community/conference-2014/pdf/02_fb.2014.whatsnew.30.en.pdf" style="text-decoration:none">http://www.firebirdsql.org/file/community/conference-2014/pdf/02_fb.2014.whatsnew.30.en.pdf</a>If nothing else is left to do i will create a branch with firebird 3.0 c++ oo api<a href="https://github.com/asfernandes/fbstuff/tree/master/src/test" style="text-decoration:none">https://github.com/asfernandes/fbstuff/tree/master/src/test</a>Api is now fronzen according to the Firebird core developers<a href="https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/tree/master/examples/interfaces" style="text-decoration:none">https://github.com/FirebirdSQL/firebird/tree/master/examples/interfaces</a> </div><div> </div><div> </div><div>Previous merged gerrits </div><div><a href="https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:merged+Popa">https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/q/status:merged+Popa</a> </div><div> </div><div>Proposal on google docs</div><a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CnN9ltIcphsO9Am-v4LLmQ8tWVuwrOuLKldhkXgjrpw/edit?usp=sharing">https://docs.google.com/document/d/1CnN9ltIcphsO9Am-v4LLmQ8tWVuwrOuLKldhkXgjrpw/edit?usp=sharing</a> </div>
