Hi

In Firebird:
"select FIRST 10 * from table_name"

What you should do it's get the 'Release Notes' from the firebird site. This
release notes will answer all your questions about 'what's new in Firebird'.

> how stable is firebird right now?

How stable is any piece of software?
In this group you will find that most of us are using Firebird in production
environments. Speaking by myself, I never had a problem with Firebird and I
recommend it to everyone.
(You will notice also that the most messages about Firebird crashing were
after a power cut, in a server without a UPS.As long as you follow the
rules, I doubt that you will have any of this problems.)

HTH,

Artur
