Today Habarisoft announced the start of the FireAlarm project, a monitoring solution for the Open Source RDBMS Firebird.
FireAlarm checks Firebird servers for high load situations, caused by software failures or denial of service (DOS) attacks, and helps developers or database administrators to detect performance bottlenecks. It is written in the Java programming language and released as open source.

We have made an comparison of functions between Oracle and FireBird to avoid the nice (but incomplete) UDF-library UDF4Ora. Most of the Oracle functions are similar to FireBird- or FreeAdhocUDF-functions. Here you find a complete liste of comparison.
If you are interested in one (or more) not presented functions send an eMail to help@freeadhocudf.org.

Dimitry fixed one bug with stored procedures slowdown in some cases :Tuned the code a little in order to avoid redundant retrievals. As a side effect, it downgrades three-way joins to two-way ones, thus helping the optimizer to choose a good plan in the worst (zero selectivity) cases. This should resolve CORE-2933 (Very slow execution of a script that creates a lot of metadata) and CORE-3237 (Slow compilation of stored procedures) without tweaking the optimizer constants.
New plugin manager was committed to trunk. Use it for all types of plugins.
Alex Peshkoff Fixed binary packages build. No more CS/SS difference. No more linux RPMs on SF (now they are created on each distro anyway)
Another interesting bug fixed in the future 2.5.1 is CORE-2756 :substring from timestamp – unexpected result
While on firebird-architect there was a serious discussion about encryption i found on the web the following software that uses firebird
Crypt-o will help you to organize and store securely any kind of valuable information, such as logins, passwords, customers or employees lists, access codes, credit card numbers, PIN codes, files, etc.
Crypt-o is a secure Client/Server solution for creating custom databases, which is designed for use in enterprise networks. The data is reliably stored in Firebird SQL Server database and is encrypted using AES encryption algorithm with 256-bit key. Crypt-o client applications access the Crypt-o Server using secure SSL connection.
Kelver Merlotti posted (a few moths already) about the Firebird course and took pictures of one happy event:
