I'm sure to some people, your question seems dumb. There is a lot of
information out there for Firebird, but unless you buy the Firebird
Book it is not all in one place, and few people read a 1000 page book
before firing off a simple does firebird support feature X to the
support list. It is also strange logic, remember those with enough
experience to answer your question are those who are willing to
install the beta of a database engine and possibly only a small number
of them are not involved in some way in developing or documenting
Firebird. The ones who don't fit this category are experienced users
who are ensuring their software will run fine the day FB2 is released,
so not the sorts of people who would ask 'dumb' questions.
