Useful and miscellaneous links.
For now, I have only the most basic links. When the list was big enough, I will categorize the links into main links, utilities, personal pages and so on. Do you want to be here? Let me know, please.
Main links:
- Interbase's official website, ISC.
- Firebird, home of the open source fork of IB. If that doesn't work, try here.
- IBPhoenix Corp, the company that provides services for IB and FB.
- IBDI in Germany, a site maintained by Karsten Strobel.
- Firebird in France, a site maintained by Philippe Makowski.
Interbase newsgroups:
There're a lot of Interbase related newsgroups scattered through the world. Click here to see the list of newsgroups. I will expand the list as I receive notification of their existence. Please contact me if you want to be listed.
Useful packages and utilities:
I've decided to move them to a special separate page. Click here to see the list of packages and utilities. Please contact me if you want to be listed.
Interbase support:
I expect this list to grow in the upcoming months when IB is finally released as official open source database. So, in advance, I moved the support list to another page. Click here to see companies offering consultancy on IB. Please contact me if you want to be listed.
