Content not direct related to FB, but interesting reading.
Seems like it may be related to the FB Japanese user group. Sometimes, a few people from it post in the lists.
Here is the English version of that page and they had 2 presentations at Open source conference 2006 Tokyo : one is “Why to choose Firebird” the other is “How to build/debug Firebird”. [Ed:thanks for the link Cludio V.]
That link tells of thieves attempting to steal a Koala. What idiots. Surely the only people who think Koalas are cuddly and nice are foreiners who couldn’t know any better.
Turns out, the Koala did so much damage to the would-be thieves that they abducted a fresh water crocodile instead 🙂

The Firebird SQL data application block is intended to speed up development, and it should be used in conjunction with data layer classes in much the same way as Microsoft’s data block. The sample included with this article uses the embedded Firebird SQL database (included in sample) to demonstrate the use of the application block without having to bother setting up a database.
For those who are on Linux and want to extract database’s metadata, please have a look to firebird/interbase native isql tool, that permits to export DDL as follow:
isql DBalias -o ddl.sql -x -u SYSDBA -p masterkey

Seems to be the blog of the day :
More & more I want to write the issue/requirements tracker that has been in my head for so long. I would write it in either java, php or Ruby on Rails. I would put an embedded firebird database behind it. Now, I have to get people to believe that they should let me do this at work. I am too damn old and tired to do it at home in my oh so copious spare time.
