Firebird 06/14/2004 11:37 AM

As will surprise nobody who knows me, the shininess of the Firebird database server had been blinding me since I posted that interview yesterday. It was calling my name, so I just had to download and install it.

I'm extremely happy with what I found — it's a free database server with a ton of features you're not going to find in MySQL. There's a self-extracting Windows installer, it installs itself as a service, and it even gives you a little Control Panel applet to manage it.

It has support for foreign keys, views, triggers, and stored procedures (with what looks like a very rich procedure language). There's full PHP support through the ibase_* set of functions and it's supported in the ADODB database abstraction library.

There's not much in the way of free clients. It comes with a command line client, of course, but I didn't find any free graphical clients. There's this one and this one, but they run from $79 to $250.

I still don't quite have a handle on the genesis of the project. I gather it came out of Borland's InterBase product, but I'm not sure if InterBase continues, or if it was abandoned (there's a Windows 2003 version of it, so it's probably still alive in some form). Firebird (and InterBase) penetration appears to be most heavy in Europe. It's commonly used with the Delphi language (another Borland product).

In browsing some of the message boards about Firebird, I got the same...vibe that I got about MySQL five years or so ago. There's a lot of buzz, and there seems to be a lot of transfer from MySQL to Firebird. The talk all seems to be exceedingly positive.

So why would you use MySQL over Firebird given that the latter has support for so many more features and is just as free? I guess I'm a little more confident with MySQL's battle-worthiness, given that it's been around the block so many times. (But by the same token, InterBase wasn't in beta or anything — that was a production quality database server.)

So am I ready to switch all my stuff over to Firebird? No...not yet. But I don't think I'll look at MySQL quite the same way ever again. This seems like a very attractive option.

Using FeedDemon with Mozilla and
Firebird

Using FeedDemon with Mozilla and
Firebird 12/16/2003 06:44 AM
I beta tested FeedDemon this summer and liked it well enough, but decided not to switch from using Firebird's brilliant RSS Reader panel because FeedDemon depended on IE, and because Nick Bradbury decided not to make the feature requests I wanted in order to make FeedDemon easier to use on a laptop with a pointing device. FeedDemon is very pretty, but it would be a lot better if a 2-pane interface like Eudora's was an option. I still love RSS Reader panel, and will continue to use it for my daily reads, but it is awkward to have more than 15 or so RSS feeds in the side panel, and my list of sites that I like to drop in on is longer than that, so I've been looking around. Today I ran across a post by Erik Arvidsson on how to patch FeedDemon to work with Mozilla and Firebird. To quote Erik: Download Mozilla ActiveX Control 1.5 and install it. I guess one could use the one packaged with Mozilla Firebird but this one did not work out of the box. Download a small program called IEPatcher. I found this from a different site that has some good information.Run the IEPatcher.exe and select the FeedDemon directory and patch the FeedDemon.exe file This creates a file called moz_FeedDemon.exe. Run this and update all your shortcuts to point to this exe file instead. Brilliant. (Although it should be noted that I have not been able to try this myself yet.). Now that Nick Bradbury has announced that he is ready to ship FeedDemon, I'll have to give it another try, this time with Mozilla and Firebird. And it seems worth trying to patch the two other IE dependent programs I used to use on a daily basis, Mybase, and Surfsaver....

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird

RSS native parsing in the next Firebird 02/10/2004 02:42 AM

This is new to me. I was checking out the nightly builds of Firebird 0.8 betas (windows and linux, mac< /a>) and they' ve got an rss button and panel that parses RSS, with titles linking to the main window. Slick, but they need to let you track which ones have new/old items.

update: It turns out I'm actually a dumbass. I installed this RSS extension so long ago I forgot about it, and because I never saw it show up in any menu, I figured it never "took" on my Firebird install. Then when I had the new nightly build the toolbars were out of whack on first run so I went to customize them and saw the RSS button for the first time, and assumed it came with Firebird 0.8. My bad.

Firebird Database Server

Firebird Database Server 06/13/2004 10:32 AM

Beyond Proprietary Databases: Helen Borrie on the Future of Firebird: Here's an interesting interview with one of the people behind Firebird, an emerging open-source, multi-platform database server.

It's a fork of a mature commercial database called InterBase. InterBase is an enterprise-level database — Firebird is the same, but better. You'll find Firebird behind a number of Web sites, storing records for telecom companies and managing data for point-of-sales systems — just about anywhere you might find Oracle or [Microsoft] SQL Server.

Firebird, you may remember, was the reason that the Mozilla browser project had to change its name to Firefox.

Upgrading Firebird to Firefox?

Upgrading Firebird to Firefox? 02/15/2004 05:25 AM
I've been debating about upgrading from Firebird to Firefox, the new Mozilla based browser, but have seen enough problem reports to decide to hold off until after this week's trip to Colorado. Plus, I'm not looking forward to reinstalling all my extensions -- 26 at last count. And the notice on the official Firebird extensions site,During periods of heavy use, the extensions are taken offline to help maintain a healthy, responsive server. Please check back later! For now, please use Extension Room.seems especially clueless. As far as I'm concerned, the whole point of Firebird / Firefox is the extensions. I also don't understand why Ben Goodger and the other developers are so opposed to the Tab Browser Extensions feature set? I understand that they have some problems with how the features are implemented, but to reject including or creating a better extension for some of the most popular features of Firebird / Firefox is nuts. I'd be curious to hear what other Firebird users' upgrade experiences have been....

Firebird Database Server Penetration

Firebird Database Server Penetration 03/30/2005 03:30 PM

'Most important ever' MySQL reaches beta: I found this stat in this article about MySQL 5.0, and I'm amazed by it:

[MySQL] accounted for 40 percent of open source database deployments, while Firebird and PostgreSQL accounted for 39 percent and 11 percent of deployments respectively.

Firebird has a 39% share of open-source database deployments? One percent behind MySQL? That's amazing, as I thought it was still a hidden gem.

We've talked about Firebird here and here. Great database platform, by all appearances. I'm moving an enterprise system I built off of SQL Server, and I made the decision to put it on Firebird, so know that you'll be hearing much more about it in the coming months.
