Product Description

Although less publicized than other open source database management systems, Firebird continues to gain a dedicated following of professional users. Figures have already reached hundreds of thousands worldwide, in Firebird's short three-year history in open source. And until now, no other book has been available. This is the first, official book on Firebird--the free, independent, open source relational database server that emerged in 2000. Based on the actual Firebird Project, this book will provide you all you need to know about Firebird database development, like installation, multi-platform configuration, SQL language, interfaces, and maintenance. This comprehensive guide will help you build stable and scalable relational database back-ends for all sizes of client/server networks. The text is well-stocked with tips, code examples, and explanations to reinforce the material covered. This book concentrates on Firebird edition 1.5--complete with updated language, security and optimization features--without neglecting the needs of Firebird 1.0 users.

About the Author

Helen Borrie is a database and application developer, a member of the Firebird project team and a former journalist, who doubles as a technical writer. She is a frequent contributor to support lists for Firebird, InterBase and Delphi database programming.

5.0 out of 5 stars Firebird Handbook, 2 Sep 2004

By	"peter35207" - See all my reviews

Well it was well worth the wait.
This is the first true Firebird book in english and it is essentially the long awaited Firebird manual.

Helen explains both the basics and more advanced features of firebird in a very clear and readable fashion. The book is well laid out and has lots of little pearls of wisdom scattered around the sections which alone would justify the price of the book.

Do buy this book if you are using or developing with Firebird or considering using it in the future.

To summarise
A indispensable Firebird reference and manual.

Peter Chaisty
