Helen (or another list moderator that it's not asleep now):

I don't want to cross post between different newsgroups (you already spank
me once), but I think that C. Valderrama explanation "why he changed
Firebird" should be post here.

My first impression to this problem was that "Firebird team should keep
backward compatibility", no matter if IBO is doing some now-SQL standard.

But looking at Claudio's explanation I'm going to think twice.

And I don't like to see Lester and Helen in this battle alone (as they are
now on the list I talked about)

But I think that based on Claudio's explanation we must discuss this subject
here * FIRST * all together and post something at ib-support latter: when we
get a democratic opinion about this. What we have here is a IBO problem, and
we have, as IBO / Firebird lovers, to be all together on this subject.

What do you think?
