A short lecture to display some key features of Firebird SQL
Libgda 4.2.13 released with Firebird support (work is in progress)
Libgda is a (relatively small) database access library: it is a
wrapper like ODBC but with more features to access several database
engines * features a meta data extractor (to know all about database
objects in a common way) comes with an SQL console application
Work is in progress for Firebird (Check the git tree). There is also a
special feature which allows one to connect to a database hidden
behing a web server (through specific PHP scripts) * LGPL licensed for
the libraries and GPL licensed for the tools.
See http://www.gnome-db.org for more information.
ps: I like the Gda Browser Relation Diagram tool

DSQL/BLR compilers internals
Posted In: firebird . By Adriano dos Santos Fernandes
This post is some raw notes and is not very understandable by people who never worked with this code. In fact, the old implementation was so ugly that it was not simple even for me (who is constantly working in this area) to achieve this result. It needed many tries and reverts, but IMNSHO ended very well. Also, this was a large work that took many time, and I’m just writing some records here.

Testing Codeigniter with Firebird
This was written on albringas.com :
I’ve been using Codeigniter as my development platform and framework of choice since last year. Being a ten year PHP developer, Codeigner was a refreshing way of coding web apps with PHP.
The first ones developments I did with Codeigniter were using MySQL, a very used database. But since I’ve also been using Firebird SQL Database from ten or more years ago, I decided to give a try to the Codeigniter-Firebird duo.

MVC 4 / Firebird / EF 4.1 and Database First
Recently viewed a great presentation by of Steve Sanderson (blog.stevensanderson.com) on using SPA with MVC4. I tired with FB 2.5 and it works great. I’ve written my first blog This shows how to change the default behavior from Code First to Database First with these new technologies. I just wanted to contribute the list.
Thanks,

Firebird V2.0.7 has been released – likely to be the last for the 2.0-series
Firebird V2.0.7 has been released.
This sub-release 2.0.7, likely to be the last for the 2.0-series, does not add any new functionality to the database engine. It incorporates a number of bug fixes that did not make it into the v.2.0.6 sub-release in June 2010 or have been backported from subsequent 2.1.x and 2.5.x releases.
This release 2.0.x contains a large number of new features compared with 1.5.x, including derived tables, support for Execute Block, increased table sizes, new improved index code (the 252-byte index length limit is no longer applicable), expression indices, numerous optimiser improvements, enhanced security features, support for on-line incremental backups along with numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
