[swift-users] Firebird SQL driver for Swift

Hi, I'm a happy and longtime user of Firebird SQL, a medium-weight open source database. I much prefer Firebird over sqlite. Unfortunately, I couldn't find any Firebird driver for Swift, especially on Linux. Does anyone here know any Swift project out there working on this? Thank you. --

Hi, Since I'm still using my old mid-2009 Macbook Pro, which is still working very well by the way, I'm stucked with macOS El Capitan (10.11.6) with Xcode 8 and Swift 3. Hence, I also couldn't install Xcode 9 and Swift 4 because they required at least macOS Sierra (10.12). So, is there any other

Sorry for not being clear. My english isn't very good either. What I meant was static module linking (loading and unloading) for Swift modules. Also with initialization and deinitialization for Swift modules. It's alright then. I just want to make sure. I'm a Pascal/Delphi programmer and
