I can see skript kiddies preferring MySQL, but a DBA? Time for a credentials review. Firebird is a good small database (small resource footprint) that handles small databases with many users well. It doesn't scale well due to its single file data storage implementation. A good disk farm is mostly wasted on it. I think that comparing Firebird to Oracle functionality can only be done in an extremely superficial manner because of the difference in scalability. So they implemented PL/SQL. Whoopee. Get the source for GNAT and do it for PostgreSQL, if anybody cares.
