Martijn,

Fair call - it's been a few years since I used Oracle but as you
say..... :-!

Development is proceeding apace and I'm hopeful that Firebird 2 will
eventually address many of my concerns. If I could cherry pick
features/performance from Firebird (1.5) and Postgresql and mash them
together I'd be a very happy chappy.

But at the moment I have to live with 1.0.3 and I still don't know what
happened.

Cheers,

Bradley.
