One of the things I like with Firebird is their stored procedure features. In my experience with MSSQL and MySQL5 doing stored procedure has been easier with Firebird and yet powerful. I fell in love with it and making stored procedure as my usual solution for data manipulation.
Hello,
I’d like to announce the first public release of fbclient, a binding of the Firebird client library to the Lua language, that is, a collection of pure Lua modules that allows you to connect and execute queries against the Firebird Relational Database.

Softpedia seems to be one of the most visited IT related sites (at least the forums) in my country according to traffic.ro stats so i have updated the firebird related pages.
We need honest reviews there and some votes
Here is the page for the mac ,here is for Linux and there is for Windows.
ps:Later i will add some screenshots to the pages and update the instalation guides.
Firebird 2.5 is updated on cnet’s download page.What we need there is more honest reviews and some votes from community.
This article is the description of the first steps in setting QT, Visual Studio and FireBird.
From Monty (MySQL original author) blog:
As I already blogged before, a fork is not enough to keep MySQL alive for all future, if Oracle, as the copyright holder of MySQL, would at any point decide that they should kill MySQL or make parts of MySQL closed source.
Firebird is trully *open* (in all aspects). Nobody owns Firebird, nobody can buy it, nobody can close its sources, nobody can charge for it! So, if you are using Firebird, you don’t need to have such worries.
I’m impressed about the new django-firebird driver from svn.No more patching needed for the first 5 chapters in the django book.
Now i’m at chapter 6 from django book and all worked without issues until now.
So i have updated django+firebird post and examples from the book are tested with django 1.1.1 and firebird-django from svn
Maxi Robaina wrote on the new firebird-django-dev list when i told him about my positive impressions:
There is certainly plenty to do and still improve much
more.
ps:
I will integrate django with firebirdsql.ro: content administration and blogs/news.
The download counter on sourceforge geeknet for all downloads is over 7 Millions , and the stats shows that traffic is growing
If you use it then is better to recommend it on SourceForge’s Ratings and Reviews area or click on I use this button on Oloh
Whether you want to learn how to efficiently import data into Firebird, or you wonder if it is worth upgrading to Delphi 2010 for “routine” tasks, this article will give you some food for thought.
In particular, this article explores the use of Delphi and the open-source relational database system named “Firebird SQL” to load and analyze web traffic logs. Along the way, the size and performance of EXEs compiled with Delphi 7 versus Delphi 2010 are compared, plus the speed of Firebird 1.5 versus Firebird 2.1 and four common Firebird data access components are measured.

Adriano (Firebird Core Team member) published a document (sorry, only in Portuguese) describing how he developed the integration between Java and Firebird, allowing people to write procedures and triggers in Java.
