1 * Firebird and Interbase Data Provider
4 <li>Does not exist in Mono, but is a separate project</li>
6 <li><a href="http://firebird.sourceforge.net/index.php">Firebird Relational Database</a> is
7 an independent project which uses source code based on the Interbase source code released
8 by Borland under the Interbase Public License</li>
10 <li>Both the Firebird Relational Database and the Firebird .NET Data Provider can be
11 downloaded from <a href="http://sourceforge.net/projects/firebird/firebird">here</a></li>
13 <li>The Firebird .NET Data provider has been made
14 available by Carlos Guzmán Álvarez (aka "Carlos G.A."), who has also made a
15 number of contributions to the OdbcJdbc code</li>
22 <li>Currently, it is able to connect to Firebird and Interbase databases
23 and execute commands</li>
26 provider/driver is written in C# and provides a high-performance native
27 implementation of the GDS32/API functions. This means that .Net developers
28 will be able to access Firebird databases without the need of Firebird
31 <li>In support of the new module, a new mailing list
32 <a href="http://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/firebird-net-provider">firebird-net-provider</a> has
33 been created. Please use this list for any
