Hi,

sorry for the delayed answer on this.

I'd be interested to know what your views are on this / which version
you've been using so far? I guess the LO developers in general might
also have some input on which is preferable?

With the constraints we saw to start using FB3 and its native C++ API
straight away, we chose to go for FB2.5 and the native plain C API.

I think this is a safer path and migrating to native C++ and FB3 once it
is stable shouldn't be hard in the future.

Also have any of you looked at integrating Firebird into the LO build
system yet, as this was one of the first things I was planning on doing
(although that is dependent on the choice of FB 2.5 vs 3). I think
Andres mentioned he was concentrating on developing on Linux at first --
I could look into the Windows specifics for Firebird to ensure things
are as cross-platform as possible from the start (although I should
probably mention I don't have too much Windows experience yet, and my
system isn't the fastest for building stuff there).
...

I started doing it for Linux as an external dependency. I also started
walking the path to add FB as a bundled library inside LibO, but this is
far from being completed.

In any case, any help on Windows is welcome :)

Javier is the one leading the development effort of the SDBC driver. I
think he was saying that he could now split tasks to be done regarding
this.

...
I've create a wiki page where I'm putting down some notes on whats
happening here -- I've also extracted the technical discussion and the
estimated timeplan from my GSOC application in case that's useful to
anyone else:
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Base/FirebirdSQL . Feel
free to add to/edit that if you wish.
...

I've updated it with the latest information I had.
