Iron Man Blogging Challenge – Start Blogging about Firebird
The idea is simple and i took it from this site . This is how we can make firebird database known to the world , If the press ignores us , we don’t ignore them .
In order to promote the Perl language, and encourage more people within the Perl community to promote the language to the world outside the Perl echo-chamber, Enlightened Perl is pleased to announce the Iron Man Perl Blogging Challenge.
The rules are very simple: you blog, about Perl. Any aspect of Perl you like. Long, short, funny, serious, advanced, basic: it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be in English, either, if that’s not your native language. To stay in the Iron Man Challenge, you must maintain a rolling frequency of 4 posts every 32 days, with no more than 10 days between posts.

Why so few developers are using Firebird SQL? (not so true…)
Recently I started a new project in which I need to choose another database besides MySQL. Since then, I had been using MySQL for basically everything, but given the MySQL licensing scheme and a few restrictions of the project itself, this time I had to use something else. So I choose Firebird SQL.

Important improvement (bug fix IMO) in 2.5

Kevora IDE for Firebird
New QT based IDE for Firebird Kevora
Recently, Kevora also supports Firebird or Interbase access. Despite this database does not have schemas, Kevora will place all objects below a “virtual” rdb$relations schema.
The tools we use to produce Kevora are:
- * Qt Creator or QDevelop.
* Qt Designer.
* Qt Linguist.
* GCC compiler and g++ (on Linux).
* MinGW (on Windows).
* InstallJammer or BitRock InstallBuilder for Qt.
Sun, Oracle and MySQL – post at Marco Cantu’s blog mentions Firebird
The other options is that open source developers will put their eyes into other open source databases, maybe those with less restrictive licences (Firebird come to mind, but I’m biased here).
