I want to share about Firebird System Tables, they are tables that side on every FB database that consist of metadata of user tables (table that you created), many question about this and also many purpose to know about this.
folowing an previous guide on creating an firebird/flamerobin livecd for dapper drake (6.06) i created a new guide for the new ubuntu release code named feisty fawn (7.04)
You can download the final live cd from this page
I have been a big fan of the Firebird database for a while now. It is a fast, reliable and maintenance free database which suits my needs. While it is very good at a couple of things, one of the features that I like is the fact that the entire database is stored in one file. In principle this is not important, but it is pretty clean and can be very useful.
Here you can read the rest of the guide on installing firebird 2.0.2 on ubuntu (dapper LTS version)
Heads up to anyone working with the sourcecode from svn trunk. I’ve just merged the new Setup system. The new system provides a lot more helpful information during setup and is designed such that if an error happens, the process can continue if the cause of the error is corrected.

I’ve created this blog for one reason only. I just starting my first steps in database applications using .NET and I would like to share my experiences that I will face during my journey.
The major thing that affected my decision was the embedded database that gives you the ability to create standalone applications.
Joe Wirtley started working on a project with the Firebird database server and .net provider
Well, it’s official – we’ve told our sponsors we won’t be participating in the rallye this year. There’s a news items up at our team website about it.
I added FlameRobin to ohloh.net. It took our code from repository and calculated the development cost: 1.200.000 USD. Wow, I guess nobody would want to invest that kind of money into FR, but we invested our time/work instead 🙂
FbConsole 0.7.0 is an IronPython and Windows Forms console for working with the Firebird database (ED:inspired by flamerobin)
