Converting a #MySQL database to Firebird Part1 (from Lamp to Flaps)

October 4, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

Milan Babuskov wrote on his blog about his first steps in moving one host from Mysql to Firebird

I have a heavy-used website powered by LAMP stack (CentOS Linux,
Apache 2, MySQL and PHP). It started on a shared hosting so I had to
use MySQL. Year and a half later, I switched shared, virtual hosting
and not run it on a dedicated server. I decided to try Firebird to see
how it performs and also how it compares to MySQL in RAM usage, disk
usage, etc.

Open Source Databases Have Come of Age

September 30, 2010 Cantu Leave a comment

These are by no means the only open source databases designed for embedding. Firebird, for example, is a descendant of the Borland Interbase product and has a strong following.

Little helper library for writing #UDFs for Firebird in #Lua

September 27, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

Helper C library for writing UDFs for Firebird in Lua (as well as a small collection of useful UDFs). The Firebird UDF interface would hopefully be obsoleted in Firebird v3.0 and replaced with the new External Engine API. Until then, I hope you find this little library helpful. Any feedback is welcome and appreciated.

http://code.google.com/p/firebird-lua-udfs/

For tips on how to write UDFs for Firebird yourself, read UdfWritingTips.

PS: If writing UDFs in Lua seems overkill, checkout the other UDF library written in freepascal.

Firebird to be included in #Mageia : a new GNU #Linux distribution based on #Mandriva Ashes

September 27, 2010 mariuz Leave a comment

Firebird history and Mageia story are related to each other , here are the Philippe’s kind words

A new GNU Linux distribution is born : Mageia, a Mandriva Linux fork.

So why speak about this here ?

First, Firebird packages need a maintainer and as I am the one in Mandriva, I will do the same in Mageia

Second, this story remind me a little the Firebird story

Third I’m enthusiast to contribute (may be more than only Firebird related packages) to a such challenging adventure, and in this one, there are people that I really trust.

Long live Mageia : http://www.mageia.org/
