FlameRobin/Firebird Portable
I like the software without installation, just one exe, one config saved on some well know place or near exe. For Firebird administration, I’m mainly using wfsql (better isql), IBExpert and FlameRobin

Firebird supports viagra user :-)
Just kidding again. a friend of mine told me about an installation in his german insurance company that requires a firebird installation. After googling for some details i found that the german medical info system “gelbe liste” (yellow list) installs a firebird server with each installation. On their website i found some impressing details: http://www.mmi.de/fileadmin/download/Tarifkarten_2008.pdf
there are about 100000 doctors using this from CD ROM in germany and the company produces about 400000 CD ROMs for these users each year, every 3 month a new one.
again a very good background information for discussing with your management about “what is firebird?”.
See you

“Official” CodeGear/Borland dbExpress driver for Firebird
Translated from Erick Sasse blog:
This week I was in BorCon-BR and watched the Steve Shaugnessy’s talk , one of the person responsible for the database area in Delphi. He told that there will be a Borland/CodeGear’s “official” dbExpress driver for Firebird. The customers demand has now proven to justify the investment in the development of the driver. He didn’t give any details, and don’t know if the driver will be developed entirely by CodeGear or by someone from Firebird community with their help, but made it clear that it will be done. Finally, not?
