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).
