Converting MySQL database to Firebird
http://www.firebirdnews.org –
I decided to automate conversion of MySQL database to Firebird. I got
tired of manual find&replace process, and created a small parser that
changes from MySQL to Firebird syntax. Currently it only supports

Converting MySQL database to Firebird Part 1 (from Lamp to Flaps)
http://www.firebirdnews.org –

how it performs and also how it compares to MySQL in RAM usage, disk
usage, etc.
