Any MySQL-related documentation would do. If you use plain mysql_*
functions, just replace with appropriate ibase_* function. (I believe it
is even easier with wrappers like ADO and ezSQL, where you only change
the connection string). Just pay attention to some specific differences
like auto-increment columns vs firebird's way with generators. Also,
MySQL users tend to put logic in application (PHP code) because it lacks
powerful PSQL that Firebird has.
