Ok, I know this is a totally sucky announcement not even worthy of

No mention of firebird but an interesting news for php/delphi developers
Article in Italian on database.html.it
Please support Firebird database with the DBExpress driver. A huge percent of the Delphi community are Firebird users and are claiming for this.

Sean Riley shares his experience with getting the embedded Firebird to work with FirebirdClient 2.0 in forums.dotnetfirebird.org
Because I’m not able to reply to all the questions about Firebird and .NET I’m getting, I’ve set up a new place to ask these questions: http://forums.dotnetfirebird.org. I’ll try to answer the questions if I know the answer. You might also get an answer from someone else if I’m too busy ;-).

The libdbi-drivers project hosts the database-specific drivers for libdbi, a database abstraction library written in C. Currently, drivers are available for Firebird/Interbase, FreeTDS (MS-SQL and Sybase client), mSQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite/SQLite3.

I have just published a performance benchmark paper which includes
Firebird in its tests.
