Loading...SqueakDBX now supports Firebird
We are glad to announce that we now support Firebird as backend. The good news for us is that it just took 4 hours to get it working and even with the 100% of the tests in green.
OpenDBX supports Firebird since a lot of time but we didn’t have too much time to try it. I wanted to “give a hand” to Norbert generating all dlls for each new release. I didn’t have ever used Firebird neither Sybase. So, I started with Firebird and now it is working like a charm.

StackOverflow will publish ads for free (only for Open Source projects.) I have made an image for Firebird but lacked rights/points to upload it. Douglas uploaded it, but we need more votes to put the spotlight over our bird. If you have an account in StackOverflow with at last 15 reputation points, please, vote now.

Thanks to the progressive death of the NAS server from which all our Internet facilities are served, we lost everything – Tracker, website, Wiki, Windows snapshots and news mirrors – piece-by-piece over the past days.
By gargantuan effort, Sean Leyne and his colleagues at Broadview have been reconstructing our infrastructure from scratch. The main website http://www.firebirdsql.org is up but some pieces, such as Windows snapshots, are still missing. Windows snapshots should be available some time today.
The other servers are more challenging, requiring radical reconstruction using new versions of underlying software, and will take time.
For now, if you find broken links (other than those to our other servers) then please feel free to inform us via a message to this list.
More info as it comes to light.

The Firebird Atkins NewsServer, the FB tracker and the website are temporary down and will come back in a few days. If you need to download Firebird installers, go direct to sourceforge.

This stored procedures script will display a report of what are the items the customer purchase within the given period of time.
One of the things I like with Firebird is their stored procedure features. In my experience with MSSQL and MySQL5 doing stored procedure has been easier with Firebird and yet powerful. I fell in love with it and making stored procedure as my usual solution for data manipulation.

Hello,
I’d like to announce the first public release of fbclient, a binding of the Firebird client library to the Lua language, that is, a collection of pure Lua modules that allows you to connect and execute queries against the Firebird Relational Database.
