Recently I came across Morkif. Still haven’t lost much time with it, but it seems an integrated environment for “drag & drop” webpage development.
It combines AJAX, a small Apache Server and the Firebird database engine.

"The new transaction database was developed by Jim Starkey, a noted database software architect who joined MySQL in February", Urlocker said in an interview at the LinuxWorld conference in Boston. "MySQL recognized that Starkey's Netfrastructure had a full relational database. The database is a jewel in the rough, a new engine with a more modern architecture, oriented for use with large-scale applications." What a nice thing to say about Firebird's design. Users will recognize that Firebird is the polished jewel.

However I think I’ve seen the future, SQL on rails be sure to checkout the screencast. 🙂
Thanks to Duc for passing on this link – I’m now a convert. 34721 is the magic number…

Bob Picciano said "Viper is really aimed at taking [Oracle] out of the market," noting that about 40 per cent of the world's data is in an XML format. He added that DB2 Express-C is helping IBM to maintain customers using open source databases.

[Ed: It seems that there is a typo in the sourceforge winners page. It shows two “2nd runners up” in the Database category. IMHO, it doesn’t seem too “fair” to compare database engines with database frontends.]

FYI: In the current edition of the well-known German “Entwickler Magazin”, there has been an article about “Firebird Embedded Server” included.
The link to the content of the current edition is:

It has been discovered recently (thanks to Eugene Kilin) that Win32 builds of Classic Server did not set up some socket options properly, including SO_KEEPALIVE. So if you have troubles with “zombie” processes not terminating after the keepalive internal, this is the reason. The patch has been committed into HEAD today and it will be available in the v2.0 RC2 release.
Also, Windows builds (both SuperServer and Classic) are now in sync with the POSIX ones and also have the Nagle algorithm disabled by default. If you want to change this behaviour, set the config option TcpNoNagle to zero.
