I don't use bigint type, because is a project that comes from dialect 1.
What problems have you had with it?

All the complex processes and querys are done trough stored procedures.
Along the time, we started the project in 1999, i have used IB 5.6, FB 1.0,
and all Interbase versions. I have had problems with bad selectivity index
and i decided to move most of the complex queries to stored procedures.

I know that i will have to move from IBX to another compatible component set
soon or later, because FB 3 will not be compatible with gds32. I was hoping
that embarcadero support firebird in IBX ;), but will be complicated.
I have started to use Firebird 2.5, since i did not use firebird since 1.0.
I have tested my aplication/database and i have not had problems. We have
one customer with 50 concurrent users working without problem for 2 months.
I know IBX does not support Firebird, but in theory Firebird maintain
compatibility to IBX, because deploy gds32.dll for that. I do not use, for
the moment, improvements of firebird, because i need to deploy to both IB
and FB, and only is used compatible options.
