So now if you use debian unstable and experimental this way Now you can test and use firebird 2.0.5 packages
We missed the Lenny release party but who knows maybe we release 2.5 until the next Debian release

Below are two simple Python scripts (not involving dabo) just showing how to connect to Firebird and do a simple task using wxPython.
http://dabodev.com/wiki/Firebird
(1) The first script lets the user go into the File menu and select a Firebird database, and then it displays (do-nothing) buttons in a wxPython Sizer object down the left side of the window, one for each table (and view) in the database.
(2) The second script is hard-coded to open a particular Firebird database and display a particular table in a grid. (Before running, you will need to go into this script and change the hard-coded sections so they are appropriate for your system. You’ll need to change the host and database parameters and the SQL statement – and maybe also the user and password parameters. Look for the lines preceded by a comment starting with ###.)
Very well done site with good firebird questions / answers also flamerobin is mentioned several times. You can watch or respond to many of them
I spotted his interesting projects or forks on github
ED:i saw that you forked fb ruby library could you tell me a few notes on how you use it in sequel orm i want to add an post on firebirdnews.org if you want so also an small intro would be nice
wishdev said :
I basically just wrote an adapter for Sequel which uses the Fb driver to work with Firebird. The fork was necessary mostly to fix an issue with using the RETURNING clause to get back sequence generated primary keys.
As for any intro with respect to myself – I’m the type that keeps his head down in the gopher hole for the most part. I didn’t do a huge amount of work because the Sequel ORM is so well written it was easy to build a Firebird driver.
If you need/want any more info please feel free to ask 🙂

Today i have discovered this little gem on github , It’s an Asynchronous database-access for Qt and Firebird
So in this post i open an series of interviews or introductions with people around firebird
There’s an article on the Firebird Documentation web-page about Firebird File and Metadata Security. Since this is an interesting topic to our customers, I took the time to translate it to German.
The article describes the fundamental problems in securing network connections. One of the biggest problem is key management. Since the Firebird server is usually controlled by and installed at the client’s site, you don’t have any control over it. So, theoretically, someone could always build his own Firebird server to spy on the password. But that’s only one of the problems discussed.
Many thanks to Geoff Worboys, the author of the original article, and Paul Vinkenoog for publishing it on the official web-site.
JBuilder’s database integration capabilities allowed us to build on top of an Oracle database for the larger system and Firebird for the smaller system.

The examples are very clean compared with what i have seen in cake or other RoR inspired frameworks
