Japanease research company published a chart “NRI opensource map” that judged the practical use degree of the open source software.
Firebird listed on the area can be used for enterprise systems.

The timesheet for the Firebird Conference 2006 is now online. You can check the grid here.
HardSoft TV presented in program #275 an interview with me (Carlos H. Cantu) recorded during the 3ยบ Firebird Developers Day. You can watch it online now (audio is in portuguese). In the next programs (released every 2 weeks), there will be other interviews with other FDD speakers.
SQL Maetro – A new administration tool for Firebird Databases is available for download (windows only).
Meiji Kimura posted an on-line article in IT-Media about Firebird Developers Day. Non-japanese speakers can try some online translation tools to be able to read the article.
Source and binary packages for Windows (setup.exe and .zip) and Linux (gtk1 and gtk2 variants) are available for download. MacOSX and Debian/Ubuntu ones should follow soon (and probably FreeBSD one too). We are also looking for someone to try if things work on Solaris too.
New features
– System tables now are available in main tree view
– Compatibility with Firebird 2.0
– SQL editor: Autocompletion of column/parameter names and old/new aliases in triggers

dnfBB is a powerful and fast 3 Tier, C# / .Net discussion board or forum. With native support for multiple forums within the same database structure which fully utilises Firebird’s features (Stored procs, triggers etc)
The final beta version of dnfBB is now available for download, this version includes all the features that were allocated to Version 1. Without a doubt there will be a few imperfections to iron out before the final release, however as far as functionality goes this is now complete (Firebird version only at the moment).
