In Firebird CORE-659 (http://tracker.firebirdsql.org/browse/CORE-659) there is a collection of requests for spatial index, e.g. R*Tree or GiST, for GIS applications and other. Spatial indexes are also fine to find events in a interval of time.
R* Tree at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R*_tree GiST at http://gist.cs.berkeley.edu/ I think the support of spatial indexes can bring a lot of new users from SQLite (https://www.sqlite.org/rtree.html ) and PostgreSQL (http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.1/static/indexes-types.html) to FireBird.
