This is prob inflammatory (what else is new) But if I was porting to a GPL Linux/NT SQL Server I'd serously look at PostgresQL over Interbase Reasons - Higher Performanace (esp under load) - Much Better functionality -- in Script Languages (choose your own, TCL. PERL, Python, a TransactSQL Clone) -- Triggers (by Row/By Group) -- User defined Fuctions -- Better DataTypes The only weakness it has currently are - No OLEDB Driver - Cannot Return a result set from a stored proc Regards Neven N.K.
