Having been using Firebird since Interbase days I'm more than happy with
the way it works, and being able to 'package' the data for each database
in it's own directory along with nightly automatic backups I find it an
ideal solution for PHP websites. Each website can be backed up to a
secondary server simply via the backup file, rsynced with the storage
directory. pconnect is useful for heavily used sites, but simply opening
a database when it is needed is not a major overhead especially if that
is on a dedicated database machine, separated from the web services.
