The Firebird Oracle Mode / Compiere ERP+CRM Demo

The Compiere ERP+CRM system is one of the most popular packages of its kind. It has been downloaded over half a million times and is in active production use at over 50 locations. It is supported by VAR's all over the world.

The Compiere package was written for Oracle. Many users have asked for compatibility with an open-source database. All attempts failed, because the databases were just not up to the task. Except for one: Firebird. Oracle-mode Firebird (nick-named Fyracle) supports Compiere just fine.

Compiere 2.5.3a (configured for Fyracle)

To install the Compiere package, download the compiere.zip file and unzip it to the directory of your choice (recommended is "D:\Compiere2" on Windows or "/opt/Compiere2" on Linux). The directory contains java and xml code and is identical for both Windows and Linux. The pre-loaded database file is in the sub-directory "data".

On the configuration tab of the Compiere login dialog the location of the database can be configured. Set the database user name to "SYSDBA" and the database password to "masterkey".

More information on running, configuring and using Compiere can be found on the Compiere website. You can check the contributed HOW-TO's for Linux and Windows in the community download area for further details. The compiere source code is available as a separate download for those who want to experiment
