The major PostgreSQL news this week is the upcoming release of 7.3.1, which will provide some fixes for early adopters of 7.3. In other SQL news, the Firebird team is pleased to announce the release of the Firebird v1.0.2 update for Win32 and Linux.

they are great relational databases that i like (i can include here even mysql because is too fast).At least i didn’t expected firebird here .Nice surprise
More interesting than the x.x.1 release shift, did anyone see the other links on the press release?
“PgSQL, Inc Releases eRServer v1.2
http://www.pgsql.com/press/PR_eRServer1_2.html“
Now that looks very interesting. Anyone here played with eRServer yet? Of course, it’s not a free download, like PostgreSQL itself, but it comes with the high-end support contracts. I suppose if your data is important enough, it’s worth it.
(What we have here, folks, is a replication system for PostgreSQL. The supposed lack of replication has been the #1 reason many people don’t migrate to PostgreSQL. More details at http://www.erserver.com/)
Why is it that the FireBird Client needs path to database in its connect string?
Example
jupiter:/usr/local/firebird/testDB
The client should not need to know this, should it?
Does it mean that the clients need to be reconfigured if the DB location changes?
Insights?
