Hello Roman

Until now we don't test PostgreSQL but compared with other databases/drivers, the only problem with FB is in the selects, FB
takes too much time.

For instance FB outperforms SAPBD on inserts and mixed tests, but takes 180% the time of SAPDB in the selects. I don't know if
the problem is in the database kernel or in the communication layer, but this is perhaps the next thing to review. I don't think it
is in the driver because the problem exist with FB Driver and with Interclient.

I have not too much time now to do the test with IC 2.5, but I expect jDataMaster will be available for download this week,
including the test suite.

I'll be very pleased if you can use jDataMaster, we also need testers. I'll notify you as soon as we put it in the net.

Regards
Blas Rodriguez Somoza.
