Hi,
Thank a lot for the additional information.
I am comparing the feature and going to evaluate them.
However, which one do you like best, why ?
And which one you don't like, why ?
>Go to
www.ibphoenix.com , you will find a lot of useful informations about Interbase and Firebird databases (Downloads, KnowledgeBase, Examples, Articles, etc.
>Maintenance for Interbase / Firebird databases is easy because it is one file database (if database is very large, it can be splited in multiple files on different volumes). You can do online backups, rebuild index, etc, with users connected to database.

>>>Hi Virusim,
>>>
>>>I've used VFP with Interbase on a Windows server with very good results. It's an excellent database. I haven't used Interbase on Linux although I know people who have ported their database from Windows to Linux with no change in code and have been very pleased with their results.
>>>
>>>Other databases for Linux you may wish to check out are PostgreSQL, MySQL and FireBird. (FireBird is based on Interbase code). I use PostgreSQL for a number of projects and have found it to be excellent.
