Perl DBI driver Interbase-> Firebird rename/test/upload complete

Also i have tagged the release with release 0.52 in git
The cpan tar is be available here http://search.cpan.org/~mariuz/
There is only one test left to be fixed
Thanks Stefan for the help and fixes 🙂

Why it was needed and rationale:

Firebird sql forked from interbase and needs a new namespace for the drivers too also the drivers needs to be separated some things in the api and sql dialect are different and sooner or later there is a need for this separation also the DBD::InterBase seems to be unmaintained

PHP 5.3.6 released with changes for Windows users :VC++6 builds disabled

Officially VC++6 builds are dead (There are community builds but unsupported by core php developers)
Here is the announcement

Windows users: please mind that we do no longer provide builds created with Visual Studio C++ 6. It is impossible to maintain a high quality and safe build of PHP for Windows using this unmaintained compiler.

For Apache SAPIs (php5_apache2_2.dll), be sure that you use a Visual Studio C++ 9 version of Apache. We recommend the PHP builds as provided by ApacheLounge. For any other SAPI (CLI, FastCGI via mod_fcgi, FastCGI with IIS or other FastCGI capable server), everything works as before.Third party extension providers must rebuild their extensions to make them compatible and loadable with the Visual Studio C++9 builds that we no longer provide.

MySQL -> Firebird converter

From Milan Babuskov blog:

I decided to automate conversion of MySQL database to Firebird. I got tired of manual find&replace process, and created a small parser that changes from MySQL to Firebird syntax. Currently it only supports database structure dump (no data, only structure) from PHPMyAdmin. Not all datatypes are supported, but feel free to “fix” it. It’s written in PHP and it’s open source. It would be great if you would send back any modifications you make. Download it here (source code included).
