DotNetNuke® Project :: Firebird® Provider

DotNetNuke can currently be run on at least two database platforms - Microsoft SQL Server and Oracle. In the 2x days of DotNetNuke, it was also possible to run DotNetNuke using Microsoft Access which was more easier/familiar to the some of the community than SQL Server or Oracle.

The Firebird® Data Provider is a new sub project under the core which will allow DotNetNuke to run using a Firebird Database.  Firebird® is a relational database which runs on Linux, Windows and other flavors of the Unix Platform. It is ANSI SQL compliant and has a very small footprint in comparision to MS SQL Server or Oracle. It can also be run in an embedded mode requiring little or no interaction from the end user.
The goal of the Firebird Data Provider is to offer yet another alternative for DotNetNuke users who do not wish to use SQL Server or Oracle.

For those interested, you can get some more information on Firebird® from here.

This project was started by various volunteers with the desire of offering another viable alternative for DotNetNuke and thereby increase the overall usage of DotNetNuke. A large portion of the provider was contributed by Sanjay Mehrotra who also is the author of the Oracle Data Provider.

After about two months of testing and re-submitting of the feedback module to the release tracker for approval, I can finally say that I think I see the light at the end of the tunnel. With the very rigorous testing which both Sebastian and Matthias have put the new feedback module through, I am hoping that this is going to be a much better module than it's predecessor. 
A big thank you goes to both of them for guiding me along the way and ensuring that I was able to ... Read More »

After a long hiatus, I can now return to the changes for the feedback module as I had intended. Part of the delay in getting out the newer version has been my fault - switching jobs and trying to adjust to the new job culture. The other part has also been trying to adjust to having a new baby in the house which in itself is a huge project. :)
For this I do apologize to everyone in the community in general and hope to correct this in the upcoming weeks/months by being more proactive in ... Read More »

Its now been a couple of weeks since version 4.4.1 of the feedback module has been released and with the exception of some bugs, I would say that overall, the release process went fine (unless others have some input on this).
I will start working on 4.4.2 very shortly here (hopefully start getting the feature set ready by mid week ) and then start figuring out what needs to be done in 4.4.2. I know I've received some requests from the core which include better administrative functional ... Read More »

We were so close to releasing the module this past weekend but have hit on another roadblock which will prevent us from releasing the module as expected.
As many might be aware from following the module, I have introduced captcha capabilities in the new version which will prevent bots from submitting feedbacks on your site that uses the feedback module.
This captcha feature was taken straight from the core and is basically the same implementation as what the core has done ... Read More »

First off, my apologies for being AWOL for a couple of days. I have a 37 week pregnant wife and although her pregnancy has been un-eventful till date, it's finally beginning to become eventful. She might have a kidney infection and I was in the hospital with her for a couple of days...

Now, with regards to the feedback module- the hold up has been 100% because of me. The core had sent me notification that the source version was failing installation and that's why it was being h ... Read More »

The feedback module has just passed the release tracking program and I'm expecting it to be available very shortly. I have to find out from the core whether there is a beta testing period or whether it is released as is to the general community.
I was able to sneak in the captcha features in the upcoming release (v 4.04.01) and it is exciting to see some of the feedback generated by the community on features they would like to see in upcoming versions.

I am happy to announce that I have recently taken over the management of the Feedback module.
As I'm sure a lot of you are already aware, I have been actively supporting the DNN community over the past few years (authoring the oracle data provider for DotNetNuke and also leading the effort to create the firebird version of DotNetNuke). Towards this end, it is indeed a pleasure to be asked to support in other areas of DotNetNuke and hopefully help in the growth of this wonderful open source proj ...

As part of the role of managing the Feedback Module, I have recently made some major changes to the module which will be available for release shortly.

Lots of stuff has been happening in the past few weeks/months which had resulted in my inability to complete this as expected. I had to step away to complete a project in China and am still trying to catch up with the work here before I left for China.
I am hoping that with the help of Greg, we can get this wrapped up very shortly and be able to put out a 3.2.3 and or 4.2.3 version very soon. I'll keep everyone posted as soon as we have more updates regarding ... Read More »
