Isn't sqlite solid enough? ;-) At least for the tasks a tablet can run. > A scheduler for firebird would totally eliminate my own use of custom > applications tied to database events/time events. Architecturally, Firebird database is not active without user connections. This slightly changes with the LINGER support, but not so much. So the question is who should be waiting for the timer events when nobody is connected. And if it should be the server's (not the engine's) feature, then what to do with the embedded setup? > Database links, which would require the Object names and schema support I fail to see how they would require one or another. Or maybe I just see database links completely differently. > For example, you could put each schema into a remote server/database Your imagination surely takes a lead over mine. I've never thought of the database links this way. And I'm not really sure I want to.
