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.

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.

This article says that Mufin is using “”Firebird SQL-Server Magix Edition” (huh?!).
