I use SQL everyday and I am familiar with SQL Server, and it does everything I want to. The thing with Firebird...and its been a while since I looked at it to be honest, was the whole thing around having to use that DLL....whos name I forget at the moment....UDL maybe?? That you had to use to get some basic functionality in stored procs. Like string manipulation etc. It just adds complexity to the install etc. IMHO.
But THEN, I am also interested In seeing IB 7 too at the seminar. I must admit I am waiting till then to make my final decision :-) Jeremy -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Richard Vowles Sent: 22 March 2007 11:30 To: NZ Borland Developers Group - Delphi List Subject: Re: [DUG] SQL 2005 express Myles Penlington wrote: > > Hi All. > > When I was looking at MSDE I remember reading about how it was limited > to between 5 and 8 concurrent processes at one time.

Its just that there are other free databases out there with no limits at all - Firebird and Postgres for example. Obviously products like Firebird aren't SQL Server (in terms of supporting products for example), but it depends on what you are looking for.
