I started to implement a DBX4 Driver for Firebird 1, 1.5, 2 and 2.1, it is for Delphi 2007 and 2009, open source and all code is done with Delphi it self.[ED:Please Send any questions/ideas]

One of the often task in ETL applications is to quick erase all data in some table(s). Often amount of data is big or huge (tens of millions records). In Firebird we have two choices currently – DELETE all rows or RECREATE TABLE. Both have its own drawbacks. DELETE produced a lot of record versions to clean up, its slow as works row-by-row basis and fire triggers which is almost always is not needed. RECREATE is free from this drawbacks but it will fail if there is dependencies and all related objects such as triggers, indices, constraints must be recreated too. Read more
Here is my guide on using the latest stable release for Lazarus and latest free pascal compiler (2.2.2) on Ubuntu intrepid/hardy Also after that install firebird related components and seems to work very well (tested the db aware components)

After reading MSDN articles about assemblies, side-by-side installation,
context activation API, etc, i think i have an idea how we can avoid (in most
cases) requirement to install MSVC8 runtime via Windows Installer and just
deploy it with our binaries. Read more
In this paper the author will discuss about the Firebird database, from the introduction of Firebird itself, with the installation until its implementation.(Indonesian language)
Here are my notes on installing/using Firebird 2.1.x Classic and Flamerobin .9 on Debian , soon i will update the ubuntu wiki page
The changes in this release are as follows:
The LCL now uses Unicode strings encoded as UTF-8 on all platforms.
Lazarus now runs natively under Mac OS X using the “Carbon” widget
set. The LCL internal graphic system was rewritten for more
consistency, more flexibility, better Delphi compatibility, icon
support, and native image lists. The IDE designer now allows you to
connect form components, like databases on TDataModule.
Lazarus can be used with Firebird and there are many components to choose UIB, Zeos , FbLib , PDO…

Still needs much work to do …
Suggestions, modifications and corrections are welcome.
