Specially in Brazil, it is known that Firebird is very strong inside the Delphi community. But a survey from Portal Java, a Java devoted Brazilian portal, shows that FB is very well positioned among the +2,380 Java users who had voted. Check the full ranking here.

There are two new InterBase presentations from the lastest Borland conference available for online watching:

First one is about new security features of InterBase.

Thanks Alexey for the links.

Still others have found clever ways to sidestep much of the overhead — such as table locking — associated with the traditional RDBMS…”
