Free firebird software for linux

DutchPIPE is software that enables multi user, persistent state web sites, object oriented and is a whole new perspective of looking at sites and pages.
Theres only one world with one set of objects - if you drop something on a page, someone else can visit that page, see the object, and carry it away elsewhere.
Main features:
Social sites
- Build visualized, real multi-user communities, fora and chat rooms. See your buddies wander around.
E-commerce and site assistant applications
- Make easy-to-use product and shopping cart pages. Have automated and/or real person site assistants stand by to assist your customers and increase sales.
Game environments
- From card games to virtual RPG worlds, DutchPIPE makes it possible.
User areas
- Let people make their own "area" - pages, objects, actions, etc., without technical knowledge.
Site monitoring, snooping
- Track where people are going and what they are doing. Improve your processes. Be invisible, or run DutchPIPE invisible for visitors. Snoop visitors: see an exact copy of a visitors browser window, including mouse movements. Beware of the privacy implications!
Developers platform extraordinaire
- Persistent state, object-oriented building gives way to a whole new way of developing DOM web applications. In other words...
Enhancements:
- An option for using the MDB2 database abstraction layer from PHPs PEAR library was added.
- DutchPIPE now supports MySQL, MySQLi, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Frontbase, Querysim, Interbase/Firebird, MSSQL, and SQLite.
- More administrator commands were added.
- UTF-8 support was debugged.

Firebird is a relational database offering many ANSI SQL-99 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. Firebird Relational Database has been used in production systems and 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.


New code modules added to Firebird are licensed under the Initial Developers Public License. (IDPL). The original modules released by Inprise are licensed under the InterBase Public License v.1.0. Both licences are modified versions of the Mozilla Public License v.1.1.

Installing:

In order to install the firebird version of IB 6.0 you will need to perform the following steps:

1. Get the required packages:

Get the glibc update from RedHat, the one I used
was from ftp://updates.redhat.com/7.0/i386/glibc-2.2-5.i386.rpm

Get ncurses4 from
ftp://carrier.ision.net/pub/ftp.redhat.com/i386/en/RedHat/RPMS/ncurses4-5.0-2.i386.rpm
or another redhat mirror.

Get Firebird from
ftp://firebird.sourceforge.net/pub/firebird/release/FirebirdSS-0.9-1.i386.rpm

2. Prepare the installation:

Log in as root.
Use a plain text console to do this and be sure
that all Gnome desktops are closed.
(One user reported that the Gnome desktop
(apparently ICEwm)
blocked port 3050. I could not reproduce this
here, but it seems that it uses port numbers
that arent assigned in /etc/services for own
purposes)

3. Add localhost.localdomain to /etc/hosts.equiv:
echo localhost.localdomain >>/etc/hosts.equiv

4. Change to the directory where you have placed
the downloaded packages.

5. Install the glibc update:
rpm --install --force glibc-2.2-5.i386.rpm

6. Install libncurses.so.4:
rpm --install --force ncurses4-5.0-2.i386.rpm

7. Install Firebird:
rpm --install --force FirebirdSS-0.9-1.i386.rpm

8. Add /opt/interbase/bin to your path:
You can either change /etc/profile
or do
export PATH=$PATH: /opt/interbase/bin
or
change the profiles in your users home directories

9. Check that all went well:

Read /opt/interbase/SYSDBA.password
to get your SYSDBA password.

gsec -display
should display the list of known users
(SYSDBA only after a fresh install)

isql /opt/interbase/examples/employee.gdb
SQL> SHOW TABLES;
should display all tables from this database
SQL>quit;

The Job Scheduler runs executable files, shell scripts and database procedures automatically (MySQL, PostgreSQL, Firebird and SQL Server, Oracle, DB2).

Job Scheduler processes sequential and parallel tasks and job chains, provides an API for job implementation with Java, Javascript, VBScript, Perl and exposes jobs as Web Services.

DB Designer Fork is a fork of the fabFORCE DBDesigner 4. DBDesigner is a visual database design system that integrates entity relationship design and database creation.

The project generates SQL scripts for Oracle, SQL Server, MySQL, and FireBird.

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.

libdbi implements a database-independent abstraction layer in C, similar to the DBI/DBD layer in Perl.
Writing one generic set of code, programmers can leverage the power of multiple databases and multiple simultaneous database connections by using this framework.
The libdbi-drivers project provides the database-specific drivers for the libdbi framework. The drivers officially supported by libdbi are:
- Firebird/Interbase
- FreeTDS (provides access to MS SQL Server and Sybase)
- MySQL
- PostgreSQL
- SQLite/SQLite3
The following drivers are in various stages of completion and are supposed to be included into the next release:
- mSQL
- Oracle
Enhancements:
- This release fixes a packaging error in 0.8.2. There are no source code changes.
