Hello again,

also be sure to show your boss lists of Interbase/Firebird references.
Interbase-related web sites are not only run by a "few Internet people",
but there are many, many of them all around the world, such as in the
States, the UK, Australia, Brasil, Germany, the Czech Republic, Japan,
Russia, and more.

(list of International reference customers plus
reports from major German ones, including
industrial applications)

(a UK page)

If it's good enough for the Boston stock exchange, it will be fine for
most applications.

Cheers,
Tobias
