Our company also uses Interbase and it is pretty good. One of its best features is native multi-platform capabilities on Linux/BSD and Windows. Their API doesn't require any changes on any platform and it supports advanced SQL constructs and DB features you won't find in other databases. > dont use firebird (modified version of interbase from other group) but use > instead that is coming from borland I must say, Firebird isn't that bad. We use it for an inventory module which, at the moment, is about 6 GB in size. No problems so far...(knock on wood). The other great reason for using Firebird is the support. Whenever you post issues in the Firebird egroups, the actual developers of Firebird answer your questions. Of course, the certified Borland Version is much better but is it free??? Since we are on the topic, the FASTEST database engine we use is Berkeley DB (BDB). Most of the time, people who use MYSQL tell me that they use it because of its small footprint. If you are not using triggers, stored procedures etc... and just want to use MYSQL to hold indexed data, then BDB is really the best choice.
