Short notes on how to compile Firebird extension (called interbase) on Windows 32 bit (the same ideas can be used for 64 bit too)
I have used Visual Studio c++ compiler 2008 (aka Vsc 9)
ps:
By default php developers on windows don’t have the firebird extension enabled in php 5.3.0 and the required dll (fbclient)
we try to fix that the vodoo spell is to kill one compile firebird stable with vsc9 and send them the instructions how to do the kill compiling but we have the recipe for that too and maybe we can kill compete with microsoft sql server on windows too if they let us

Wings of Wind blog just posted the results of polls about Delphi 64bits and 4GB support. In the workarounds section, he mentions Firebird:
Use the 64-bit version of Firebird configured to keep the data in memory. It has the advantage that you have a full blown 64-bit SQL server (so, no AWE paging etc.) […]

Now, if you have an account with Google, OpenID, Yahoo or Blogger, you can login and post comments to FirebirdNews without the need to create a local account! This simplifies a lot the login/account handling process, and I hope we will start to see much more comments to the posts!
To use the new feature, just click the “log in” link (at the SideBar “Meta” section) and choose what provider you wanna use.
If you already have a local FirebirdNews account, sign-in using your local username/password, edit your profile, and use the option to link your local account to any of the supported log-in providers, and you are done!

From Firebird Surgeon blog:
As you know, IBSurgeon was a publisher of “The InterBase and Firebird Developer Magazine” (or shortly IBDeveloper) in 2005 and 2006. There were 4 issues which attracted a lot of interest (up to 20000 of readers) but at that time there was no way to monetize it, so IBSurgeon decided to close the magazine as a redundant line of business.
Now we’ve put all issues of IBDeveloper to Scribd for easy reading and full text search indexing. You know, there are still “all times greatest hits” articles and materials (like one regarding locking in Firebird by Ann W. Harrison in Issue 2).
Read full post and check the magazines here.
