Loading...Conversation with Jim Starkey at a future mysql meetup
I finally bumped into Jim this morning at the MySQL UC and had a chance to talk with him. The initial conversation was about the meetup, which he gracefully agreed to come to sometime this summer (July/August). Beyond that was a great conversation about where MySQL is now, where Falcon fits in, and some of Jim’s ideas about a variety of things including DBAs, stored procedures, data types, and the SQL standard. He’s got some refreshing views on database technology and is an enjoyable person to talk with. This interview from 2003 captures a bit of Jim’s approach to database problems. Read more

IT-Director.com – A phenomenon of Open Source has been that a single product normally emerges in any given category. Firefox (browser), Linux (OS), Apache (Web Server) and JBoss (middleware stack) are all examples. The only market where more than one product seems to have emerged is database—which is dominated by MySQL, but also served by FireBird, SleepyCat, Ingres and others. – Read more here.
ZDNet – MySQL is not alone in that thinking. Other established open-source databases include PostgreSQL and Firebird. – Read more here.

The FBNews list will handle special announcements and news about Firebird related subjects.
You should not expect to get too much email from the list, since it will be used just for really important/interesting announcements.
Why this?
Firebird is an open source project, and anyone can download and use it without giving any personal information. This is great! But there is one major drawback: the project doesn’t have a database of currently users, and so, it is almost impossible to do a quick direct contact with them, to let them know about new versions, patches, conferences dates, etc.
This list will try to fill this gap.
