FB and IBO mentioned in blog post
If I end up going with Firebird, then I’ll most likely be using the IBObjects components. I’ve used these before at a customer’s site and have been impressed at the genuine speed that results.

This new layer should also make it possible for developers to build more support for other database platforms.The new Database Abstraction Layer is not expected to be included in the current 1.5 version nor the upcoming 1.6.

This guide documents the changes made in Firebird 1.0 and 1.5 SQL since the fork from the open-sourced InterBase 6.0 codebase.
Here is the Pual Vinkenoog’s announcement on firebird-docs list
Just uploaded a Firebird 1.5 SQL Update Reference to this temporary location:
This is NOT ready for publication yet, but all the entries are there and (AFIACT) correct, except maybe in one or two places where I have to contact the developers for clarification.
I’ll commit the DocBook sources to the repository and build a version for publication. After that, I’ll start working on update refs for 2.0 and 2.1. After that, I guess we must take the 2.1 ref and start expanding it to a complete Firebird SQL reference. This last step may take some time 😉

There is a project going on to measure the usage of Open Source software all over the world. People just download an utility who scan their machines, detects and reports the use of any recognized Open Source package (anonimously, of course). Right now, Firebird is not one of the recognized packages. This can be fixed if some “good soul” creates a Firebird “Fingerprint” and submit it to OSSDiscovery.
