All I need to do is a software product review presentation in the
class. The professor assigned me with Firebird. I thought I would
install Firebird and know some of it's applications, it's advantages
and disadvantages and present my review in the class. Hey! Helen, can
you tell me some of the advantages and disadvantages in using
Firebird, if you please.
