Jam.py and Firebird? Is it needed?

[Dean Babic]

Hi all, 

I just noticed that we are using old Firebird driver (fdb) in here:
https://github.com/jam-py-v7/jam-py-v7

I am the project maintainer and can add a new driver.

On that note, separate from Jam, would it be possible to package 
a new Python driver with pyinstaller for Wintel?

So that Wintel user does not need anything extra as with fdb and 
can try FB instantly. 

Thanks

There is a dedicated group for Firebird and Python (though it is
low-traffic): https://groups.google.com/g/firebird-python

Feature requests, like packaging can be posted on

No worries. I will try to package new Python driver together with the old one for Jam.py.
Just downloaded this:
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/fbdevgd-en/html/fbdevg30-db-load-test-d
and got the sequences:
SQL> SHOW SEQUENCES;
Generator GEN_CUSTOMER_ID, current value: 447, initial value: 0, increment: 1
Generator GEN_INVOICE_ID, current value: 200025, initial value: 0, increment: 1
...

Which enables me to do this:



The rest is trivial.
Thanks

Sorry, the link was cut:
https://firebirdsql.org/file/documentation/reference_manuals/fbdevgd-en/html/fbdevg30-db-load-test-data.html

So you guys can build the complete app under a few seconds after I finish this. Like this app:

But nothing is stopping anyone to do that manually. Takes about a few minutes with the same result.
And with new Python driver, it will be possible to package a complete app with zero install. 
Just download, run and connect.

Sorry, sounds like a blunt plug, but I'm just happy for FB and the Py driver. 
Did not know that already exists.
