Looking for beta testers – Firebird Metadata Synchronizer

Leave a comment

We are about to release a simple utility to help developers keep the DDL between multiple Firebird databases synchronized. Firebird Metadata Synchronizer (FMS) is a simple, low priced tool that allows you to compare and synchronize DDL between two Firebird databases. Its ideal for developers & DBAs who want to ease the process of migrating from development -> test -> production, from release to release of their applications and database revisions.

If you think you could benefit from this software, we are opening a
pre-release viewing of the program. You are welcome to download a 7 day trial of the software at the following URL:

Leave a comment

The first Russian Firebird and InterBase Conference was due in October 14th, 2006, and organized by iBase.ru, a well-known Firebird/InterBase company in Russia.

The conference gathered about 190 participants and 35 sponsors and speakers. It was an one day conference with 17 sessions, talking about Firebird 2.0, Firebird 2.1, InterBase 2007, Fyracle, FIBPlus, FastReport, IBProvider, IB/FB Developer’s Studio, different aspects of using Firebird and InterBase (performance optimization, database repair…), experience in creating billing and other systems.

In the intervals between sessions, people were able to talk with Firebird developers and other specialists close to Firebird and Interbase technologies.

Conference was a success, and we can expect the 2nd edition for the next year.

You can check pictures here (use Babelfish if you want to translated the pictures subtitles).
