> Is there a wish list for Firebird?

Yes, they're called "Feature Requests". You can see my latest list
(Draft #2) on the Firebird web site.

> a function to import from large Text SDF files.

I was wondering when you were going to get around to asking this
question ... ;-)

A lot of people would argue that the external file feature is enough, or
that eternal files should be extended to support delimited files, but
I'm of a different opinion.

As we've been exchanging messages, I have been thinking about the design
for a completely new tool, which would work with any file type; fixed
length or delimited. The tool would support import and export
functionality... and of course, would run like the wind!

> A call back function to let users know Indexing Progress.

This is much more difficult then it sounds. Unlike other RDBMS's
Interbase/Firebird doesn't maintain a row count for a given data table.
Accordingly, it would be very difficult to determine the % completed.

Or did you mean something else?

I can log your requests if you'd like? (I'm in the middle of adding
other items from another wishlist, so 1 or 2 more isn't a problem)
