Here is the package for Firebird 2.1.2 in debian unstable I have installed it this way (the small install bug is already fixed in git)
sudo apt-get install firebird2.1-super
dpkg-reconfigure firebird2.1-super
The idea is simple and i took it from this site . This is how we can make firebird database known to the world , If the press ignores us , we don’t ignore them .
In order to promote the Perl language, and encourage more people within the Perl community to promote the language to the world outside the Perl echo-chamber, Enlightened Perl is pleased to announce the Iron Man Perl Blogging Challenge.
The rules are very simple: you blog, about Perl. Any aspect of Perl you like. Long, short, funny, serious, advanced, basic: it doesn’t matter. It doesn’t have to be in English, either, if that’s not your native language. To stay in the Iron Man Challenge, you must maintain a rolling frequency of 4 posts every 32 days, with no more than 10 days between posts.
Why a RDBMS with so many features like Firebird SQL is so unpopular if compared to MySQL or PostgreSQL and what we can do to help this amazing project.
Recently I started a new project in which I need to choose another database besides MySQL. Since then, I had been using MySQL for basically everything, but given the MySQL licensing scheme and a few restrictions of the project itself, this time I had to use something else. So I choose Firebird SQL.

The tools we use to produce Kevora are:
Zend Framework seems that support the php_interbase adapter for Firebird , that means you can use it instead of the unstable pdo driver , News via stackoverflow
