Well, they should understand that Firebird will never have all those features from Oracle and MSSQL. The question is what they really need. > 1. Built-in replication.

I know there is replications applications > in firebird, but them are not what is needed. (CORE-2021) You're talking about a hot standby solution here. Surely, it can be built on top of the replication, but other solutions are also possible. See for example: http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-2990 > 2. Clustering.

There's a 64-bit txn id implementation available (although not publicly yet), but alternative solutions also look possible. I'd like to have their draft implementations at hands before deciding what solution Firebird is going to get. > 2. Support for SQL Schemas. CORE-738 Personally, I would second this suggestion. The question, however, is who is interested in developing such a big piece of work. I'm afraid this not gonna be me, sorry. > 3. Service calls for aliases.conf CORE-1422 It's named databases.conf in v3 and its structure is quite different now. IMO, this ticket needs adjustments to the new realities before considering it for implementaion.
