how install firebird 2.0.2 on Ubuntu dapper amd64

Leave a comment

I have been a big fan of the Firebird database for a while now. It is a fast, reliable and maintenance free database which suits my needs. While it is very good at a couple of things, one of the features that I like is the fact that the entire database is stored in one file. In principle this is not important, but it is pretty clean and can be very useful.

Here you can read the rest of the guide on installing firebird 2.0.2 on ubuntu (dapper LTS version)

It was with sorrow that we learned of the death last month of David S. Rushby, aged 27, in a drowning accident in the Black Sea at Anapa, Russia. David has been the sole developer and maintainer of our KInterbasDB Python interface for some years. For the last nine months he worked as project manager in the information technology division of Tander, Inc. in Krasnodar, Russia. Our sympathies to his parents, Mr and Mrs W. F. Rushby, of Blue Grass, VA, U.S.A., and family. Obituary.
