what was the problem with that? we just deployed a rather large application
(servlets and lots of cmp eb) that usually runs on adabas on interbase
which didn't make any significant problems and took under a day to
complete. if you have specific problems I can ask the guy who did this
here. he has been using it in development for a few weeks now and so far
everything looks ok so we're seriously considering using interbase in
production with orion but we'll keep on testing. we haven't done any real
load tests. btw. what are people out there using for load testing (hmm...
I'm putting this in a separate email ..).
