Hi

I haven't used the others extensively (or at all in some cases) but to say that selectable SPs are difficult in Firebird (1.5) makes me wonder. I have found FB stored procs very easy to write, especially select procedures. The others must be wonderful !

I have to note that I'm talking about FireBird 1.5 here, haven't used
2.0 (none of my customers use it).


Ease of programming:

  MS SQL Express
  MySQL
  PostgreSQL
  Firebird

(just look through what hoops you have to go through to write a
procedure that returns a data set, i.e. the result of a select
statement)


SQL language expressibility (built-in functions, language power):

  PostgreSQL
  MS SQL Express
  MySQL
  Firebird


Optimiser quality:

  MS SQL Express
  PostgreSQL
  MySQL
  Firebird


Administrative burden:

  all similar


- -- All the best,

Berend de Boer
