Just curious, since I don't visit any NG other than the b.p.i.* ones: isn't
TeamB defending the IB-Open-Source that's after all, very close to Firebird
at this time? If the question is MySql v/s Firebird, it's 99% MySql v/s
IB-OE.

Anyway, MySQL should be called MyScam: it's fast, no problem, but it's the
least SQL engine from the commonly used offerings. It should be renamed
MyFewSQL until it really covers SQL functionality.
