"Locked into using Firebird"...you say that like it's a bad thing! Can you provide some more details of your usage? Things like: 1. Current number of current connections 2. Desired number of connections 3. Current database size 4. Details of the virtual host - O/S, RAM, filesystem, HD type. -- Daniel
