Apologies if it has been posted before.
--------------
Firebird is a decent database, in the same league as postgres. I still
prefer postgres for a couple of reasons. My information in
firebird/Interbase may be a little outdated but Firebird has a 64k row
limit. This is the killer for me: no large blobs! I think it also a
bit slower than postgres but I have no evidence to back that up just my
experiences from IB 5 back in the day. Right now, at least, it is
easier to set up and run under windows and that's worth a few points.
What keeps me coming back to postgres is not feature 'x' or feature 'y'
but the spirit and capability of its creators.
