Dear R. S. Patil,

1. Look at
http://www.ibphoenix.com/main.nfs?a=ibphoenix&s=1075834409:66437&page=
ibp_powered_firebird

2. If InterBase based systems are of interest too, look at

last link is rather old and perhaps some information is outdated.

Year ago I collected for Ann bad stuctured list of Russian and
Ukrainian FB-based program solutions with (very) brief descriptions.
Note persons and organization mentioned in this list are small part of
known for me program developers, who explicitly searched for publicity
or agreed this information can be published. Naturally, personally I
did'nt checked quality etc, just collected information rendered by
authors. If you are interested I can send it you by email (is used
here addrress alive?). I must say there are not banking systems in
this list and I can't recall large banking system based on FB. I can
suppose most probable FB problem in this area is low size of numerics
in dialect 3 (18 decimal digits, scales are added on multiplicative
operations, 18.2 cuurency * 18.4 rate = 18.6, 12 digits for integer
part or result) and common floating-types problems with Double
Precision calculations on which Numeric and Decimal types are based in
dialect 1.
What about example of production usage FB on Linux - company I
work for (Bereg Ltd, largest paper wholesaler in Russia,
http://www.bereg.net/english/about.html) uses ERP system 1996-2000
IB4CS/SCO Unix, 2001-today FB1CS, FB1.5CS on Red Hat Linux. Database
size is about 8Gb, 653 tables, 916 SPs, 1360 triggers, 2509 indices.
About 20 active concurrent users and 50 read-only.

Alexander,
