Hi,

I used Mysql for programming, but now I want to use Firebird because
it fits better to my needs.
The problem I have now is that in mysql I used the full-text option
for indexing and searching.
And I don't know how I can import that into Firebird I have read
in
other groups that full text searching is not supported in Firebird
1.5.2.
So I am searching for some other tools.
