Free firebird formula software for linux

FireFoot is library that provides an easy way for C language programmers to connect to Firebird database servers (and provably Interbase). It uses the Firebird/Interbase API.
Library supports:
- Create, delete, connect to Firebird database servers.
- Single transaction management.
- Common or parametrized SQL statement support.
- Support for basic data types and BLOBs.
- User management support.
- Support the backup and restore of databases.
This library exists as an alternative of Firebird/Interbase C language API. It is made in C language, using GLib object model.
- It is planned to be multiplatform, working at least on Linux and Windows. Until now it is only tested on Linux, but shouldnt be a problem to port it to Windows.
FireFoot libary is released under the GNU/GPL version 2 licence.

Firebird .NET Data Provider is an ADO.NET data provider for Firebird. Firebird .NET Data Provider is written in C# and provides a high-performance native implementation of the Firebird API. It also includes an implementation of the Firebird Services API and Firebird array datatype support.

Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL standard features that runs on Linux, Windows, and a variety of Unix platforms. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, and powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in production systems, under a variety of names since 1981.

Firebird is a commercially independent project of C and C++ programmers, technical advisors and supporters developing and enhancing a multi-platform relational database management system based on the source code released by Inprise Corp (now known as Borland Software Corp) on 25 July, 2000 under the InterBase Public License v.1.0

Jaybird is JCA/JDBC driver suite to connect to Firebird database server. Historically Borland opened sources of type 3 JDBC driver called InterClient.

However due to some inherent limitations of Firebird client library it was decided that type 3 driver is a dead end, and Firebird team developed pure Java implementation of wire protocol.

This implementation became basis for JayBird, pure Java driver for Firebird relational database.

This driver is based on both the new JCA standard for application server connections to enterprise information systems and the well known JDBC standard.

The JCA standard specifies an architecture in which an application server can cooperate with a driver so that the application server manages transactions, security, and resource pooling, and the driver supplies only the connection functionality.

While similar to the JDBC 2 XADataSource idea, the JCA specification is considerably clearer on the division of responsibility between the application server and driver.

JayBird 1.5 provides extensions to some JDBC interfaces. All extension interfaces are released under modified BSD license, on “AS IS” basis, this should make linking to these classes safe from the legal point of view. All classes belong to org.firebirdsql.jdbc.* package.

JayBird 1.0 provided only pure Java wire protocol implementation. While being most effective in client-server setups (even more effective than native client libraries), it performed worser when connected to the server residing on the same host compared to native (C/C++/Delphi/etc) solutions. Reason is that type 4 driver communicates with the server using network sockets, which introduce additional overhead. Native client library has possibility to use IPC when connecting to the database on the same host. This might increase performance even by 100%.

JayBird 1.5 provides also type 2 JDBC driver that uses native client library to connect to the databases. Additionally JayBird 1.5 can use embedded version of Firebird relational database allowing to create Java applications that does not require separate server setup.

However type 2 driver has also limitations. Due to multi-threading issues in Firebird client library, it is not possible to access it from different threads simultaneously when running in local mode (IPC). In this case only one thread is allowed to access library at a time. Driver tries to provide needed synchronization.

Current implementation uses mutex that is local to the classloader that loaded JayBird classes. This poses some deployment limitations: firebirdsql.jar must be deployed so, that it is loaded by the system classloader. For standalone web containers like Resin or Tomcat, JayBird should usually be deployed in their lib/ directory. It is allowed to include it in the WAR archives, but if and only if it is guaranteed that only one application will access Firebird.

When accessing remote servers thread per connection policy applies. Driver provides necessary synchronization for this situation.

Embedded version of the server cannot be used on Linux systems in multi-threaded applications. In particular this makes embedded version of the server unusable for web applications, where usually each request is served in separate thread.

Kfb (KDE Firebird Basictool) is a GUI administration tool for the Firebird database system. The application includes most functions offered by Firebird and introduces some new operations said to be impossible

Kfb is programmed with KDevelop (C++ and Qt). It is fully GUI and based mainly on IBPP, another open source project of C++ interface to Firebird APIs. Kfb also includes some other libraries, ncrypt and fbcopy, and all of them are open source projects.

Centric CRM is a mature, fully featured, Java-based, Web-delivered CRM with leads management, contacts, pipeline, quotes, accounts, campaign management, project management, help desk, document management, reports, employee, and admin modules.
Enhancements:
- This release can attach documents from various CRM modules to outgoing email messages, independently schedule activities and log activities without the need to first record a past activity, record Activities against an account without specifying a contact, attach Documents directly to general contacts and account contacts (documents attached in the Contacts module follow the contact to the Accounts module), and make HTML, CSV, and Excel reports.
- Nine databases are now supported: Derby, DaffodilDB, Firebird SQL, DB2, Interbase, SQL Server 2000/2005, MySQL 5, Oracle 10g Express, and PostgreSQL.

Mozilla Firefox project (formerly Firebird, which was formerly Phoenix) is a redesign of Mozillas browser component, written using the XUL user interface language and designed to be cross-platform.
Mozilla Firefox is a Mozilla browser.
It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.
Main features:
- comprehensive popup controls to keep unwanted advertising off your desktop;
- a tab browsing mode that lets you open several pages in a single window, allowing you to load links in the background without leaving the page youre on;
- integrated search (powered by Google);
- industry leading accessibility with Find As You Type - find links and page text by simply typing;
- simplified privacy controls that let you cover your tracks more effectively;
- a streamlined browser window that lets you see more of the page than any other browser while at the same time being more configurable;
- a large variety of free downloadable extensions and themes that add specific functionality and visual changes to the browser.
