Hi list,
In the company I am presently working my boss want to choose a database to
work with, but he told me it has to be free and there must be a warranty
that it will be continued in any circustance, like what it is said about
MySQL. I personally am very fond of interbase 6.01, and I would like to work
with it, or at least with firebird which is said to be free, but for that I
must find written all those things said about MySQl. In my opinion Interbase
is far better than MySQL and I enjoy this and other list about Interbase,
and Ihave had very good experiences with them myself. But unfortunately to
use it here I will have to prove to them that Firebird is free and unlike
interbase will continue to be free and continue to be improved and developed
in the long run.
Hope someone can point me to all possible web sites where I can find the
information I am looking for.
Personal opinions also will count as living proofs of the worldwide use of
the database.
But I need to show them all the certifications.
hope you are all well and happy with firebird
