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.

You can download it from http://ibrest.sourceforge.net

Developers who can help improve this Delphi utility with their fixes and updates are also welcome.

Kind regards

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.

Check the full article here.

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.

In part 1 we 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.

You can download a copy of it http://www.upscene.com.

Currently supported are Delphi 6, Delphi 7, BDS 2006, Delphi 2007,
RAD Studio/Delphi 2009, Kylix 3 and C++Builder 6.

With InterXpress for Firebird you have guaranteed access to
Firebird and all its features. The driver comes in two versions:

- Desktop Edition
- Server Edition

All versions come with a full year of support and maintenance
updates. The support period can be extended at a reduced price
after the first year.

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)

Now you can check in YouTube, the second sample of the Master Class video from Dmitry Yemanov:

Here is the discussion with the new inclusion in Ruby Sequel (Sequel is a lightweight database access toolkit for Ruby)
