User survey - how and why do you you use firebird_fdw? And what features are missing? #20
Comments
For access to legacy industrial DBs (1990th) and for school students for RDBMS studies.
Along all times only 11+. Usually the latest from postgresql.org repository.
2.5 or older for legacy industrial DBs, 3.0 for my projects and school students.

I support a manufacturing facility where the ERP is a COTS product based on Firebird...version 1.5, can you believe it. My job is to integrate this with MES (Manufacturing Execution System) i.e. the factory floor and all the people and equipment found there, integrate work order issuing from the ERP, and provide major additional features, reports and automated workflows/integrations. firebird_fdw has been essential for interfacing with the ERP and implementing these things. One thing I love about postgres, which this exemplifies, is it can be a fantastic hub to join together disparate systems. Often middleware is not needed - PG does the job. So far we've successfully worked around the limitations of firebird_fdw and even submitted PR's for a few issues we encountered, but all of these have since been addressed by you. It's great to see this is not a dead project. |
