Just a few comments -
Postgresql has a larger range of data types and built in string
functions,
Interbase has no text datatype and (I think) "like" doesnt use an index.
I don't think you'd do badly using either but I'd lean towards
postgresql. It seems to be deveoping at a faster rate than Interbase and
probably has the edge performance wise.
