This tutorial explains how to create a sqitch – enabled Firebird project, use a VCS for deployment planning, and work with other developers to make sure changes remain in sync and in the proper order.
We’ll start by creating new project from scratch, a fictional antisocial networking site called Flipr. All examples use Git as the VCS and Firebird as the storage engine.
Author tells his story on the blog first birthday:
When I launched, one year ago I did not knew if it would be read, if anyone is interested in what I had planned to write, but I thought it needed a blog in Castilian language to help us learn more about Firebird, because it is an engine very good data bases and documentation was missing in our language.
My expectations were not so high , I thought hopefully in a year could reach 10,000 visits and would consider myself very lucky and if reached 20,000 visits. Well, at this time and exceeded 116,000 visits so I am more than happy with the good reception that we have It’s really a very pleasant surprise.

If anyone is interested I have a similar comparison here

It includes Oracle, Postgres, SQL Server, DB2, Firebird, MySQL and the three popular Java embedded engines
Citrix® EdgeSight™ is a performance and availability management solution for XenDesktop, XenApp and endpoint systems. EdgeSight monitors applications, devices, sessions, license usage, and the network in real time, allowing users to quickly analyze, resolve, and proactively prevent problems.
In the EdgeSight support page, we can find the following:
The EdgeSight agent is continuously monitoring every process that is running on the monitored device. In turn, it is continuously writing performance data to its local Firebird SQL database.
So, one more big company using Firebird.
How many more are out there, and we still don’t know? 🙂
Peter Gulutzan (ex Mysql at Oracle arhitect) decided to compare the current versions of MySQL 5.6 and Firebird SQL 2.5. he only looked at SQL standard features that end users can see, without benchmarking

It’s a weird score because they (Sun/Oracle) didn’t delivered mysql 6 and compared to it Firebird 3 is a major arhitectural change and rewrite and it doesn’t deserve the penalty box
