ps : in my biased opinion firebird is in the same class (and above) with
mssqlserver,oracle,db2,postgress,sapdb. The engine don't have all the bells (features) and it is simple
to use/install/maintain . With it you practically don't miss the dba guru to pay it on maintaining the
1000 params like oracle has.
