Hi Trajano,

One thing I forgot to mention: Switching to JayBird is fairly easy so don't
let that scare you off. Since JayBird and Interclient are both
implementations of java.sql they should be interchangeable.

It's not quite that easy in reality but close to it. Interclient did some
things that were not according to spec so you may have to make some
modifications if you happen to use any of that code.

I've converted several web apps from Interbase 6.0/Interclient to
Firebird/JayBird in a matter of a few hours. Sometimes no changes are
needed except in the driver names.

I've also moved the web apps from Windows to Solaris to Linux with no
problems.

I found JayBird to be more stable than Interclient nearly two years ago when
I ran my first tests and it has improved much since then while Interclient
has remained the same.
