With all due respect Ann, how will adding more user to the database
help with this problem, it seems like it will only make it worst.

Also the system that I want to use Firebird with scales from 1 user/
1 store to 60 users * 150 stores.

We are trying to avoid going to SQL Server (because of cost) and
wanted to try to give IBPhoenix our business.

You and I have talked before about us becoming a (paying) customer.

But, as far as Firebirds' design target of high-concurrency
read/write databases. It seems pretty hard to reach that if
Firebird is crawling under a single-user.
