Re: Interbase/Firebird - any users out there - what's

About a year ago I programmed a php/firebird application, and I've never
had a problem with firebird. It's a small database (a few megabytes),
but it just works day after day.

I've seen firebird has updatable views, they seem to work very well.

I have the feeling that It's not as flexible as postgresql, but I still
like it. It would be my choice for win32 applications (until win32
postgresql port become available).
