Any ready-made comparison will suffer bias unfortunately.
Some real considerations which are quite objective:
Upfront Cost
On-going Costs
(Firebird leaves Oracle in the dust here)

Total data volume is of no consequence to either platform
(that can be stated in a way which makes Firebird a clear winner given the
costs)

It will depend on what connection components you choose to use... IBO
against Firebird would win hands down against ODBC/dbexpress against Oracle
And what client environment is slated for the Oracle frontend? What about
ongoing costs in this regard?
