Hi, this is my first post in this group.

I've tried Firebird in 2005, as a candidate to replace our company's
SQL Server 2000 databases. At that time I found that Firebird's left-
outer-join was slow compared to SQL Server 2000 (or was it not
natively supported? I forget). Anyway, in the end we dropped Firebird
(sorry, also forget the version) and picked MySQL instead.

Now in 2007, how is Firebird's left-outer-join compared to SQL Server
2000/2005 and MySQL 4.x/5.x ? Faster, slower, or about the same?

Thanks in advance,

Agus Dwikarna
