I moved from Interbase (and Firebird) to SAPDB .. Approximately 300 meg database 
being accessed from Zope/Python

Although SAPDB is bigger and a more complex setup, I'm more confident in it, I 
appreciate the advanced tools.  The performance (on the same hardware) is much 
better.

Sorry this is anecdotal .. I can tell you that on a dual Xeon 2.2 ghz running RH linux 
8.0, 
switching from Interbase to SAPDB more than doubled the responsiveness of the 
application..i.e., data retrieval time was cut in half.

This may be due to the Python drivers. ;-)

Problems:

1 SAPDB abort due to inappropriate SHMEM setup. That got answered pretty quick on 
this list.

2. ISO date format isn't the same as Interbase

3. multi joins are specified using oracle. I think the Interbase format is clearer

I'd think the move is worth it.
