Re: PostgreSQL vs. Interbase

Hi > Please discuss as to your point of view the advantage of PostgreSQL over > Interbase and/or vise versa. I'm considering three (3) important points > I'm just evaluating Interbase and there is an important point that did not come out in the thread. It seems that Borland went back on key commitments to the open source development team and lost their trust and goodwill. As a result, the source has forked, with most of the momentum behind the fully open source Firebird project. Borlands commitment to their own 'official' version looks pretty thin. You can find info on Firebird at: http://firebird.sourceforge.net http://www.ibphoenix.com http://www.interbase2000.com Things are at an early stage, but Firebird have already identified and fixed a major security hole during their security audit of the Borland code, and offer binary builds for a number of platforms. Looks like the Firebird fork is the one with the future. Geoff Caplan
