Personally I think native windows port is plus that interbase/firebird has over
postgresql. It also has native threaded model which *could* be benefitial at times.

I combed docs once or twice. It looks like the linux/unix support is failry new
so I don't know how it stacks in production and performance.

OTOH, I don't like storing entire database in one file. That could get messy.
Otherwise two databases are on par, at least on paper. I hope SQL compliance of
interbase/firebird is better than mysql and closer to postgresql, +/- delta.

Of course PG has it's own goodies. Rules/Create language are just tip of iceberg.

Can you come up with some relative comparison? We can help you from postgresql
side..:-) That would be great.
