DatabaseLayer 1.7.1 Released
DatabaseLayer is a wxCode library written to offer a JDBC-like API to database access. For a summary of the functionality offered by
DatabaseLayer, visit http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/docs/databaselayer/summary.html. The main web page is located at
http://wxcode.sourceforge.net/docs/databaselayer/. At this time, the supported database backends are SQLite, Firebird, PostgreSQL, MySQL, ODBC, Oracle (partial), and TDS (which includes MS SQL Server and Sybase – both partially supported).
OpenDBX 1.3.1 released
This version enhances the library with a read-only large object interface, which enables access to blob and clob data stored within a database. The Firebird backend is the first one that implements this interface and is now able to fetch data objects up to several GB in size is smaller chunks. Along with the new interface, the code for the backends was split into several files, so it is more clearly arranged when extensions like the large object part will be added. Also, replacing stdint.h by the inttypes.h include removes an undesired dependency on automake from the header file.

Delphi For PHP Released – firebird related article on slashdot
Here is the original article and the interbase/firebird mention
Codegear (now a subsidiary of Borland) has just released version 1.0 of Delphi for PHP, a RAD development environment (running on Windows) that produces standard PHP code. It features a large set of built-in components, including ones that use AJAX for database access; and Codegear is encouraging users to develop their own components. The framework, VCL for PHP, is open source, and documentation follows the PHP model. Initial database connectivity is for MySQL and Interbase (Codegear’s commercial database that spawned the open-source Firebird), but more are promised.

libgda/libgnomedb version 3.0RC 1 have been released.
After a lot of bug fixes and cleanups, I’m pleased to announce that Libgda and Libgnomedb have reached a point where the API and ABI are frozen for the upcoming 3.0 release. This new upcoming version is a complete overhaul compared to the previous 1.2.x versions (the jump to 3.0 is due to a shared libraries versionning). The sources can be downloaded from GNOME servers.
