Firebird is an open source relational database offering many ANSI SQL-92 features that runs on Linux, Mac OS X, and a variety of UNIX platforms. Firebird offers excellent concurrency, high performance, powerful language support for stored procedures and triggers. It has been used in many production systems within a large number of commercial companies since 1981. What's New: The 1.5 release is the first version based on new, cleaned, and improved C++ source code tree with many new features and bugs fixed and the list of major changes beyond the 1.0 version is quite long. Please read the Release Notes included in the download for more information. Note: It's still a "test" release - use at your own risk. However, the plan is to make the Seventh Release Candidate (1.5rc7) the final release, so any problems, please feel free to provide feedback to the firebird-development list. |
