Firebird SQL 1.5

There’s been more than enough fuss around the Firebird name lately. Alongside the better-publicized
browser based on Gecko, there’s a relational
database called Firebird, or Firebird SQL 1.5 in full.

The database is built on the original InterBase 6.0 code that Borland made available in 2000.
It’s a very interesting alternative to open solutions such as MySQL or SQLite. Lukáš Zapletal has more on the project
in Firebird SQL 1.5 Is Almost Here.
It supports the SQL92 standard and features such as stored procedures and transactions.
