As long as you can gaurantee that the current stability of Firebird will not
be affected AND provide a means of restarting which will cope with the CRAP
that is Win32 I am OK. I am having to use Firebird in production because of
the problems of having to keep stopping and starting the server in IB5.6 when
connections or windows hickup and I like the way it just stays up, SO the the
restart problem should never happen - but we are using window!

This is not a problem in Unix, is it? Not that the powers to be ( the
customers ) will allow us to use it (yet).
