Universal Firebird Server

[Blavatsky 0]

When is someone going to make a UNIVERSAL FIREBIRD DB SERVER ? and is Platform independent.
A DB Server that takes a moment/s to create a NEW TARGET DB CLONE FOR SERVICE from the SOURCE database... whatever or however old it is... that can determine the software platform being used eg, linux, OSX, winXP, win95, win98, iPhone, Android, iPad, Tablet etc  
A Universal DB SERVER that can automatically convert old ANSI DB into UNICODE. With the help of AI
old programs can be made to run again. Like a museum of time  and computer evolution.
Creation of a Universal Language SysTem - based on Greek is where we are headed if my intuition is right.

It would be like creating one Automobile Engine Analyzer that can fit diesel, gas, petrol, water-resonance, hydrogen, electric, hybrid etc
Sorry, but Stanley Meyer and Daniel Dingel did create water-resonance fuel sources that will re-emerge. When Fossil fuels die out alternatives shall emerge.

But yes, thinking about something novel like a Universal Database Server, such as a Universal Firebird DB Server, pre-empts its DEBUT.
In a world without corruption these Databases should be safeguarded and virtual databases should have greater access by the Public.
Then there will be more time...To Know Thy Self.

Short answer: never.

 

Long answer: there are always code breaking changes in code or in protocols which will make older applications to be unable to communicate with never versions.

This is why - if you really can not upgrade - we are using virtual machines with legacy OS-es hosting legacy applications.

 

As ESXi is free you can also have your “museum” built this way but be aware that these legacy systems are usually extremely vulnerable to attacks in todays world.
