Thread of the day in FB2: embedded server as network client not possible
I read in the FB 2 release notes:
“In Firebird 2.0, use of the embedded server as a network client is no
longer possible.”

This Saturday the 4th Firebird Developer’s Day brought together about 600 Firebird users who attended 14 different sessions. Among the speakers were Holger Klemt, owner of H-K software (IBExpert), Nikolay Samofatov, CTO of Red Soft and Dmitri Kouzmenko, Director of IBase.ru and CEO of IBSurgeon.
Keeping with the tradition of having over 500 attendees Firebird Developer’s Day, in Brazil, continues to be the largest gathering of Firebird users in the world.
Version 0.3.9 of SQLAlchemy is released. This is probably not the last of the 0.3 series, but it’s the last major set of changes for this line; subsequent releases should probably be only for important bug fixes. 0.3.9 includes a lot of important bug fixes as usual, but also has a focus on the new API which is to be standardized in the upcoming 0.4 series, and is largely available in SQLAlchemy 0.3.9 so that existing applications can adapt to the new patterns. These changes represent improvements by leaps and bounds over anything SQLAlchemy has ever had, and a lot of them are available right now. The documentation has also been updated on the site with a large portion of these changes – so if you haven’t looked at SQLAlchemy’s documentation in a long time, now is the time to revisit; particularly the chapters on Database Engines, Database Metadata, and Data Mapping.
Tomorrow the 4th edition of Firebird Developers Day will happen in Brazil, with the presence of almost 600 people, and many international speakers. See all information about the conference at the official site: www.FirebirdDevelopersDay.com.br

Who knows maybe an firebird port will be made for it
Joe Wirtley started working on a project with the Firebird database server and .net provider
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
Changes:
A C++ interface was added. Integration of the C++ interface was also a good start to use a separate directory (/usr/include/opendbx/) for the header files, including the new opendbx/api.hpp. The old odbx.h is still available but only as a legacy file which includes the new opendbx/api.h header.
We are very pleased to announce the availability of the phpBB3 RC3 package. This is the third release candidate which is meant to become the Gold release if no more bugs or problems arise. Of course there may be more release candidates.
