I’ve been using Codeigniter as my development platform and framework of choice since last year. Being a ten year PHP developer, Codeigner was a refreshing way of coding web apps with PHP.
The first ones developments I did with Codeigniter were using MySQL, a very used database. But since I’ve also been using Firebird SQL Database from ten or more years ago, I decided to give a try to the Codeigniter-Firebird duo.

I got this in my email box, maybe some of you would be interested:
Dear Carlos,I came across your name asking developers to send details of large companies who use firebird databases. I am actually an end-user who has the open mind to want a firebird database but cannot find anyone who does this programming. I am based in the UK and am told to ‘steer away’ from firebird as it is not proven, etc. etc.It really is quite disappointing and seems that there are many others like myself who would like to have an alternative but cannot find a developer. So I am the horse looking for water to drink – but there is no water…not like you describe leading the client to the water but not getting them to drink.Any suggestions?JT <tse.tse@ntlworld.com>
Recently viewed a great presentation by of Steve Sanderson (blog.stevensanderson.com) on using SPA with MVC4. I tired with FB 2.5 and it works great. I’ve written my first blog This shows how to change the default behavior from Code First to Database First with these new technologies. I just wanted to contribute the list.
Thanks,
John R. Tomaselli
Firebird V2.0.7 has been released.
This sub-release 2.0.7, likely to be the last for the 2.0-series, does not add any new functionality to the database engine. It incorporates a number of bug fixes that did not make it into the v.2.0.6 sub-release in June 2010 or have been backported from subsequent 2.1.x and 2.5.x releases.
This release 2.0.x contains a large number of new features compared with 1.5.x, including derived tables, support for Execute Block, increased table sizes, new improved index code (the 252-byte index length limit is no longer applicable), expression indices, numerous optimiser improvements, enhanced security features, support for on-line incremental backups along with numerous other improvements and bug fixes.
Here are the Sourceforge stats from the beginning of the poject until now (The number of downloads passed 11,3 Millions)
I excluded the year 2000 (there were no file releases on sf then)
Also the sf logo impressions look interesting (Maybe it should be put back on the front page)
