NAME

DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::ODBC::Firebird - Driver for using the Firebird RDBMS through ODBC

DESCRIPTION

Most functionality is provided by DBIx::Class::Storage::DBI::Interbase, see that module for details.

To build the ODBC driver for Firebird on Linux for unixODBC, see:

http://www.firebirdnews.org/?p=1324

This driver does not suffer from the nested statement handles across commits issue that the DBD::InterBase based driver does. This makes it more suitable for long running processes such as under Catalyst.

CAVEATS

  • This driver (unlike DBD::InterBase) does not currently support reading or writing TIMESTAMP values with sub-second precision.
