title: Migrating MySQL database to Firebird Server 2.5
body: <p>I have a MySQL 5.5 database that I wish to migrate to Firebird Server 2.5. I have no issues with an existing MySQL database but after MySQL's acquisition, I am worried about the unavailability of Community Edition any time soon.</p>
  
  <p>I want to migrate to a true and robust RDBMS like Firebird. PostgreSQL is another choice, but it's .NET provider is sluggish.</p>
  
  <p>Is there any free tool to migrate existing MySQL database to Firebird? I also want to know how Firebird fits in terms of performance when compared with MySQL.</p>
