unbelievable! with all that support of constraints (MySQL is very loose on
this) and it is still far faster!

Thanks, I'll look into it. actually I've been working on firebird 1.5 support
on my own cvs tree, and able to get it compiles with g++ (I'm using gcc-3.3).
But still can't get it to work, it fails somewhere in isc_attach_database().
No error message, no SIGSEGV (apparent from strace output). Just exits
silently.
