Just a few comments - Postgresql has a larger range of data types and built in string functions, Interbase has no text datatype and (I think) "like" doesnt use an index. I don't think you'd do badly using either but I'd lean towards postgresql. It seems to be deveoping at a faster rate than Interbase and probably has the edge performance wise. -- PHP Database Mailing List (http://www.php.net/) To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To contact the list administrators, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
