Dude, I have _no_ idea what they are going to call it, but I guess it has
"Interbase" in there somewhere.

Please dont forget Solaris - mediocure but highly stable OS with EXCELLENT
hardware (ie, not intel).

Other things that appear to be coming too, with IB6 - all OSS:

ODBC driver
ADO/OLE-DB driver
JDBC driver

look on interbase2000.org for more info.

damn, its almost the most connected DB out there...! And I think its
mandrake - my prefered distro of RedH^H^H^H^H Linux - that is putting 6.0 on
their CD, hopefully getting rid of the abortion that is MySQL.
