Habanero is a free open source Enterprise Application Framework, supporting Object Relational Mapping (ORM). A set of class definitions describe how to persist data between object oriented code and a relational database backend. Firestarter is a modelling tool included with the Habanero download that manages the class definitions and allows you to reverse engineer the class definitions from an existing database.
Habanero currently supports data persistence to MySQL, Access, Sql Server, Oracle, SQLite, PostGreSQL, and more recently, Firebird. Due to popular demand, the Firestarter modeller has now been enhanced with the ability to reverse engineer from Firebird as well.

Sphinx is a very powerful and popular free open source full-text search engine. A few days ago, Sphinx 0.9.8.1 was released. Vlad Khorsun and Pierre Yager made a patch for Sphinx to support Firebird. Their patches and Windows binary are available to download and try out.
It’s an great search engine used a lot in the LAMP world So now for example if you create and phpbb site with firebird back end , you can use sphinx for indexing and fast search. Another idea is : use it to index the whole database if you have large quantities of text and you need to search for keywords (an movie comments database for example)
