Firebird support for DBExpress
Please support Firebird database with the DBExpress driver. A huge percent of the Delphi community are Firebird users and are claiming for this.
Or at least help the Firebird team to implement this support in DBX4.

Sean Riley shares his experience with getting the embedded Firebird to work with FirebirdClient 2.0 in forums.dotnetfirebird.org
Because I’m not able to reply to all the questions about Firebird and .NET I’m getting, I’ve set up a new place to ask these questions: http://forums.dotnetfirebird.org. I’ll try to answer the questions if I know the answer. You might also get an answer from someone else if I’m too busy ;-).

CodeGear announced two new Delphi products: Delphi 2007 for Win32, to generate Win32 native applications for Windows 2000,XP and Vista, and Delphi for PHP, a new product to develop PHP applications. Both products cames with native InterBase drivers, so probably it can be used with Firebird too, and of course there are also tons of third party native components for Firebird access. More information in the CodeGear site.
The libdbi-drivers project hosts the database-specific drivers for libdbi, a database abstraction library written in C. Currently, drivers are available for Firebird/Interbase, FreeTDS (MS-SQL and Sybase client), mSQL, MySQL, Oracle, PostgreSQL, and SQLite/SQLite3.
Release focus: Minor feature enhancements
From Jiří Činčura’s blog:
Well, a little bit weird heading. But a few days ago there was a really interesting discuss on the Firebird(CZ) list (about the ROW_COUNT variable). During the discussion I’ve decided (with Ivan Prenosil’s kick) to test what will happen if you’ll have more than 2G and also 4G records.
I have just published a performance benchmark paper which includes
Firebird in its tests.

Hi to everyone from Firebird, I managed to integrate with Firebird a few days ago now and it works great. There are also other database options to integrate with remote servers over MySQL or MSSQL and SQLCE, for anyone thinking about Firebird I’d reccomend that solution, compared to the other embedded databases I’ve been playing with it’s a painless and simple solution.
