Today we are (IBProvider team) overwhelmingly happy because we have finally released the final build of the 3rd version of IBProvider.
Of course, you can write it! All you need is a strong desire and 7 years of free time. Exactly the same time it took us to write the third version of IBProvider.
Please read about development results here and download new Firebird driver here:

Regards, IBProvider Team.
In the new article we describe a new feature of IBProvider – supporting ADOX.Library.
There are 2 examples on Visual C# and VBScript which describe how to create Firebird database using ADODB Extensions.
See details here:
Create Firebird or Interbase database (ADOX, Visual C# .NET, VBScript)
In our example I’ll show you how to use ASP to access a Firebird database via VisualBasicScript, JavaScript and PerlScript. Although not my favorite language, ASP will serve to illustrate the example. Also note that ASP uses ADO technology to access the database. This involves several “layers” so that access occurs.
Of course this may make access a little slow, but not the object of this article. It also assumes that the reader knows the ASP technology.
A new beta release of the PEAR::MDB2 abstraction layer and of the Firebird/Interbase driver has been released.
PEAR::MDB2 is a merge of the PEAR::DB and Metabase PHP database abstraction layers.
This release introduces PHP 5.3 support, plus many optimisations and fixes. Please test this release and report any issue you might experience.

Seems there are a lot of bugs and patches accumulating in the DBD::InterBase driver and the community already forked the code on github with many patches and fixes applied to the main code
I will create a renamed driver with the name DBD::Firebird in cpan from the above fork and i will apply all the patches and fix the bugs that were not fixed
