Adriano dos Santos Fernandes:

"I created a branch for the C++11 usage proposal. The branch is not for active development, it’s just so others can play, test and discuss.

The features are described here

I didn’t found explicit mentioning support of the function features per compiler, but seems very basic feature for lambdas so I put it there.

I tested clang++ 3.8.0, g++ 5.4.0 and MSVC 14".

Firebird Conference 2016 - Papers

Featured speaker: Jason Wharton, IBObjects

Optimizing queries and transactions

This session will demonstrate how to make effective use of queries and transactions so that your application has reliable record locking as well as smooth performance. There are some potential traps developers can fall into that I will identify and help you avoid.

This session will provide a good overview of the various approaches to interacting with your database. Direct transaction control, cached updates and multi-tier approaches will be discussed. I will also address proper use of generators/sequences and show how to provide an auditable sequence that is multi-user friendly.
