Hi Django Forum,
I am currently learning Django but have encountered difficulties while setting up a Firebird database. I tried several libraries, but none worked, and I keep receiving configuration errors. Below is my current database configuration in settings:
PYTHONDATABASES = { ‘default’: { ‘ENGINE’ : ‘django.db.backends.firebird’, ‘NAME’ : ‘C:/Projects/data/database.fdb’, ‘USER’ : ‘SYSDBA’, ‘PASSWORD’ : ‘masterkey’, ‘HOST’ : ‘127.0.0.1’, ‘PORT’ : ‘3050’ } }
The last errors I encountered were as follows:
PYTHONraise ImproperlyConfigured( django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: ‘firebird.backend’ isn’t an available database backend. Try using ‘django.db.backends.XXX’, where XXX is one of: ‘mysql’, ‘oracle’, ‘postgresql’, ‘sqlite3’ conn = backend.DatabaseWrapper(db, alias) AttributeError: module ‘firebird.base’ has no attribute ‘DatabaseWrapper’ from django.utils.asyncio import async_unsafe ModuleNotFoundError: No module named ‘django.utils.asyncio’
Could someone please help me understand what I am doing wrong and how to correctly configure the Firebird database in Django? Thanks in advance for your assistance.

Based on the errors you're encountering, there are a few issues with your Firebird database configuration in Django. Let me help you correct them.
Firebird is not an officially supported database in Django. It's a third-party backend, which means you need to install a specific package to use it with Django.
Install the correct package:
You need to install the django-firebird
package:
BASHpip install django-firebird
Correct your database configuration:
The engine name in your settings is incorrect. For third-party backends, you need to use the full path provided by the package:
PYTHONDATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'firebird', # Not 'django.db.backends.firebird' 'NAME': 'C:/Projects/data/database.fdb', 'USER': 'SYSDBA', 'PASSWORD': 'masterkey', 'HOST': '127.0.0.1', 'PORT': '3050' } }
Check compatibility:
Make sure the version of django-firebird
you're using is compatible with your Django version. The third-party backends vary considerably in their support for different Django versions and ORM features.
The error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'django.utils.asyncio'
suggests you might be using an older version of the package that's not compatible with your Django version.
If you continue to have issues, you might want to check the official PyPI page for django-firebird: https://pypi.org/project/django-firebird/ for specific installation instructions or version requirements.
For specific capabilities and support queries related to the Firebird backend, you should refer to the support channels provided by the django-firebird project.
Remember that third-party database backends may not support all Django ORM features, so you might encounter limitations depending on your project requirements.
