Firebird is an open source client/server RDBMS (Relational Database Management System). It was based on an open source version of Interbase but has grown beyond that.
Delphi Support
Native Interbase components generally work well with Firebird but as Interbase and Firebird diverge in the future this may not be the case.
3rd Party Firebird Tools & Components
IBExpert
A database development tool for Interbase and Firebird. There is a free personal version and a more functional commercial version with an available trial.
IB Objects
IB Objects are a suite of native VCL components for direct access to Interbase or Firebird. One thing that is very cool with this package is that you can switch from the BDE to direct Interbase/Firebird connectivity in no time.
