I normally work with MSSQL server although have been usinf firebird now
on a project for quite some time.
After initially finding some of the syntax odd, especially for selects,
I now find it quite good.

One comment I have through, I find the lack of support for xml hindering
at best, for example in MSSQL I can update thousatnds of rows at a time
based on a join to an xml fragment, XML is really good for passing
arrays to stored procedures.

If anybody can tell me a really good way to pass an array to a firebird
stored procedure then I would love to know.

cheers

martin.

Actually it's not illigal. MSDE supports UNLIMITTED connections,
it
will just slow down each connection after the count reaches 8
concurrent batch processes. So I could have 200 connections open
at
any one point in time and if only one of those connections would
be
executing a batch process then the governor would never kick in.

Hey, I hate MSSQL as much as anybody in here :-), but the fact
remains
that SQL is way more efficient with network bandwidth then FB1.5
