Re: [Firebird-devel] Google Summer of Code 2013

Actually, server makes a lot more sense than client, eg the embedded engine for clientside datastorage. IMHO you shouldn't connect directly from a mobile phone to an external databaseserver, it is inefficient and a lot harder to secure than for example a specific webservice. I agree with

Without default client charset too, this is a partial solution. Not all applications are written in Java and .NET. Sure, but defaulting should not happen in fbclient.dll, but in the FB access library, IBPP for C++, UIB or whatever components are currently used in Delphi. AFAIK, Delphi is

The only change is that newly created databases are created with some meaningful charset, not with raw data. The rest remains as it is now - those that want to manage it already, will be able to do this. In this case why to configure the default? Let's hardcode it to UTF-8! Yes, increase

Jim, Would it be possible and desirable to have FreePascal as an embedded stored procedure/trigger language in some future release of Firebird? (I can't recall this having been brought up before, so I just start the ball rolling). I did not check the current state of Java plugin, but

Oh, so you have implemented a proper security manager for the Java ESPs? You are great man! :) It was difficult and initially was failing only in Linux. But after changes it worked ok as far as I can test. Will it accept also a default security manager with java.policy file? So that admins
