Sean,

For something written in C, it is remarkably stable and bug free :-) We have had a few problems, first in understanding it and then a few bugs, but things are either resolved or we have workarounds.

When we did find a serious bug and once we had comvinced the developers that it was serious (which took months as no one else had reported it), it got fixed in a few days.

We use the triggers and stored procedures extensively. We are slowly moving our business logic from Delphi into the database. Primarily because once there it works. It is independent of the version of Delphi, version of windows, version of IB components, the events now working in a different order, the programmer making a mistake etc. As a bonus, it is fast. It was a wee bit of struggle but we have even written user defined functions in Delphi for it.

As a backup option we ensure that we only use those features that are implemented in Interbase as well. This came in handy in the resolution of the aforementined bug. We also recognise that one day we will strike some major clients that will insist on Interbase over Firebird. or who already have interbase running because of another application.

I am considering moving one of my projects from dbisam to firebird.  Any
war stories?  Anything I should be aware of?
