KDE Firebird RBDMS Administration Tool

Leave a comment

This is one of the many open source database projects for Firebird RDBMS administration tools on Linux. Like many of its precedents its source code can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net/projects/kfb

Kfb is programmed with KDevelop (C++ and Qt). It is fully GUI and based mainly on IBPP,  another open source project of C++ interface to Firebird API’s.  Kfb also includes some other libraries,  ncrypt and fbcopy, and all of them are open source projects and all can be downloaded at http://sourceforge.net

I have tried to achieve the goal of stability, speed and security in this project, while still keeping it easy to operate and include as many functions as possible. Kfb opeartes on FB 1.5 and 2.0 SS server.  Some efforts are to make this program more handy for the daily operations.

Our newest corporate member, Apolo Ingenieria, of Colombia, yesterday became a Bronze sponsor and today advanced its contribution to Silver sponsorship. C.E.O. Herman Freddy H.O. said “I am much satisfied by Firebird, I hope to have soon my products with Firebird.” That’s what we need to hear!
