ps: seems that securityfocus is updating their own vuln database so this is why it surfaced up again (the bug was squashed long long time ago)
Edson Lidorio wrote an small intro to MDO components (original version is in portuguese)
In this guide Juan Carbajal is showing us how to move firebird databases from windows to linux , guide is written in spanish again
I’ve been playing with Firebird 2.0 a bit the last couple days. I had played with it in the past (version 1.5) and loved it. Version 2.0 is even better.
