I find that Interbase performs very good under some harsh conditions. And
inserting 200 records/sec is very feasible with Interbase. Multiple table
inserts at that rate, depends only on how many tables you are talking about.

Here's something that one of my colleagues sent me:
"InterBase won 2nd place in the German Java Magazin Editor's Choice 2001
Best Product Awards. InterBase was choosen over IBM DB2, mySQL, InstantDB,
Microsoft SQL-Server, HypersonicSQL, Caché, ObjectStore, PostgreSQL,
Informix Cloudscape, and Sybase Adaptive Server Enterprise"
