rubyonrails test fixes for Firebird
With this patch applied, the AR test suite runs against FB with relatively few problems (9 failurs and 1 error, compared to 3 failures and 170 errors without the patch).

Replication using IBExpert
The open source database server, Firebird, and its commercial partner, Borland InterBase, have long been established as a proven and stable platform for all sorts of database applications. Because of the common ancestry in the form of the InterBase 6 source code, many solutions can be implemented on both platforms without any problems. However Version 2 of the Firebird Server has recently set new standards, introducing many helpful functions that are unfortunately missing in InterBase 7.5.
However a replication facility is not included in either platform. This article illustrates how a replication can be created with the aid of IBExpert and ibeblock.
