IBRest is a utility to update the data-structures of a working copy of a FireBird database with the latest data-structures in another FireBird database.
Another article about Mufin Music Player mentions Firebird:
The installation went smoothly, although it took a little more time than I expected because I had to download and install the open-source SQL Firebird desktop database.
I was looking for some tutorial about configuring Squirrel SQL (http://squirrel-sql.sourceforge.net/) to connect to firebird database and unfortunately i couldn’t find one . So when i finally managed to connect, i thought of publishing the steps in my log so that it could be useful to some one else.
Configuring Squirrel Sql to connect to firebird was much easier than i thought.
Inpart 1we have created a simple Firebird database and setup Delphi to create an ISAPI backend which we can use in combination with a ExtJs frontend. Now it is time to build this backend!

Ladies, gentlemen,
“InterXpress for Firebird” is our driver that supports Borlands
dbExpress technology! Today we release version 2.1.0 of our driver,
this version includes support for Delphi 2009.
The Desktop Edition is aimed at deploying and developing
applications that use a localhost or local protocol connection
and accepts up to four connections per client process. The
license includes full rights to deploy the driver at any number
of sites for any number of workstations.
Server Edition
The Server Edition is aimed at deploying and developing applications
that require a remote connection (client/server) and allows
unlimited connections from a single client process. The license
includes unlimited rights to deploy the driver at any number of
sites for any number of workstations and/or servers.
I’ve written this quite some time ago (and it didn’t receive much love since then, but it’s functional and should be bug-free), but I just noticed I haven’t mentioned it on my blog: fbsql is a clean C-API that can be used to create bindings for other languages (such as Python or Ruby). It’s much simpler to use than the raw Interbase/Firebird API and it uses IBPP internally. So it’s basically just forwarding the function calls to IBPP and abstracting the IBPP classes to a C interface that is straight forward and intuitive.

The free mufin player is the first media player to know the actual sound of your music collection to let you discover, manage, and listen to your music better. The mufin player helps you discover new music easier, create playlists automatically, or repair MP3s – and much more, of course!
This article says that Mufin is using “”Firebird SQL-Server Magix Edition” (huh?!).
Here is how to install fb_adapter for Rails on Ubuntu (It didn’t had any README so i had to figure it out on the Train to the Ruby Meetingwhere I will talk a little about Firebird and Ruby)
